A crowd-pleasing appetizer for holidays, parties, or game day! Ingredients: 2 blocks (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat) 1/3 cup sweet and spicy pepper jelly 1/2 cup chopped pecans (for coating) 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped (optional, for garnish) Crackers, breadsticks, or veggies for serving Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar until well blended and creamy. Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using), stirring until the seasonings are evenly incorporated. Mix in the sweet and spicy pepper jelly until just combined. Shape the mixture into a ball, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle. Roll the chilled cheeseball in the chopped pecans until fully coated. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with green onions if desired, and serve with crackers, breadsticks, or fresh veggies.
