Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

I make these every New Years eve. It is always expected by my friends. They are so yummy! Keep them chilled right before cutting so they don't get smashed.

I have made these for many occasions (school, church, friends, family) and have always been asked for the recipe! I must admit that at first, I thought the combination of ingredients was very strange but they come together amazingly! It is easy and tastes great!!! Another great thing about it is that you can assemble it ahead of time and then, when you need them, just cut and bake. I use dental floss to make the cutting easier. You will NOT be disappointed in this recipe.

These are an absolute favorite. I've made these on three occasions and all three times people went nuts for them. I made them last night and people couldn't stop raving!
