garlic-bacon cheese log
I just kinda made this one up, but it sure is tasty and goes over well at parties and holiday gatherings. I use something I find at Kroger called Pub Cheese (sharp cheddar variety), but any cheddar cheese spread would work. You can make this into any shape you like, such as a cheese ball instead of a log. At Halloween time, I make it into a spider using pretzels for legs and pickled onions and black olives for eyes. Serve with whatever crackers you prefer and enjoy this pretty appetizer!

What a flavorful cheese log. It's a tasty appetizer you can enjoy any time of the year. Fancy enough to serve at a holiday meal but easy enough to make when unexpected company drops by. We loved the crunch of the crushed pecans. The cheese ball itself has a sharp, savory, and smoky flavor with a touch of freshness from the parsley.
