I think I found this recipe years ago on a Land O Lakes butter package. It is very easy and really good and different.

Jeweled Cheese Ball

Ingredients

2 cups (8oz) shredded natural cheddar

1 cup pitted dates, chopped

1/2 cup butter softened

1 tablespoon brandy

1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds

Directions

In a 1 1/2 quart mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except the almonds and beat at medium speed until well blended.

Shape mixture into a large ball

Roll in toasted almonds

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours

Remove cheese ball from the refrigerator a 1/2 hour before serving.

 
Melissa, do you use a sharp cheddar when you make this? Do you think

that smoked almonds would be good in this? Thanks!
