How To Make pinecone cheeseball

1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

2
Place & spread all the almonds on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan, pushing the almonds around until they turn color, about 20 minutes.
3
Mix together the cream cheese & the mayonnaise. Add the bacon, salt, pepper, dill & onion. Chill overnight.
4
On a serving platter, make 2 pine cone shapes with the cheese. Begin to press the almonds at a slight angle into the cheese, starting at the narrow end of the pine cone shape.
5
Do this in rows, continuing to overlap rows until all the cheese is covered. Garnish with fake leaves, or edible real leaves.
6
Serve at room temperature & spread on crackers or thick wavy chips.
