Great Low Carb Snack
Put the cheddar and cream cheese in a food processor with the chopping blade inserted. Pulse to partially blend, then process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the work bowl often. Add the next 3 ingredients; process until well-blended. Put in a small bowl; cover and chill about 2 hours or until firm. Using the plastic wrap that you used to cover the cheese, shape the cheese into a firm ball. Place the nuts in a small bowl; roll the cheese ball to coat completely with nuts. It helps to quickly get a light coating all over the ball so that you can handle it easier to press it more firmly into the nuts to coat well. Once you have a good coating of nuts on it, you can reshape the ball if needed. Wrap in plastic wrap and keep chilled until serving time. Serve with low carb crackers and raw vegetables.
-Note to Cook-
I froze one for a couple days and thawed it to see how it would come out. It seems fine, but I don't know how longer freezing would affect the texture.
