Pineapple Pecan Cheese Spread image

A little bit sweet, a little bit crunchy and a little bit spicy. A great spread to take to a party. Found this recipe in Jan/Feb 2007 edition of Simple & Delicious (a Taste of Home publication so you know it's good). Serve with assorted fresh veggies and crackers for dipping and spreading. Feel free to increase the heat with a half tsp of diced fresh Jalapeno pepper.
