Equipment

  • Stand Mixer optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1 2 lb box Melt and Dip Processed Cheese Product (off-brand Velveeta) Great Value brand has the cleanest ingredients
  • 1 8 oz block cream cheese softened/room temp
  • 1-1½ cups chopped pecans
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic

Spices for coating

  • paprika
  • chili powder
  • parsley

Instructions
 

  • Thoroughly mix "melt and dip" cheese with cream cheese and garlic using a stand mixer. The paddle attachment works best. Once thoroughly blended, add pecans and mix again.
  • Chill for 1 hour, covered.
  • On a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil, sprinkle a mix of paprika, chili powder and parsley. I use primarily paprika, with a dusting of chili powder to taste, and parsley for visual appeal.
  • Remove cheese blend from refrigerator, and form into multiple logs, with the thickness that will fit nicely on a ritz cracker. You can form them into whatever length you want, but I find 3 to 5 shorter logs are easier to handle.
  • Roll each log of cheese in the spices until thoroughly covered, including on the ends. wrap each log individually in aluminum foil, and store in fridge.
