Cheese Spread decorated like pine cones.- so neat for Christmas!

Ingredients

5 Slices of Bacon (cooked & crumbled)
1.5 cups of whole almonds (toasted)
8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)

1 Tablespoon chopped green onion
1/2 Teaspoon dried dill
Pinch of fresh ground black pepper
Several Fresh Rosemary Sprigs
Crackers of your choice


Directions

  1. Fry Bacon ~ Drain, crumble, and set aside.
  2. Toast Almonds ~ Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees Celsius). Arrange almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, watching carefully and stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
