Bleu Cheese Ball

Ingredients

 * 16 oz cream cheese
 * 4 oz crumbled bleu Cheese
 * 2 tbsp chopped chives (fresh)

Directions

 * 1) Finely chop the walnuts and set aside.
 * 2) I toast them, but they are fine without toasting.
 * 3) Thoroughly mix all other ingredients until completely blended.
 * 4) Cover and refrigerate until firm (about an hour), then form into a ball and roll in the chopped walnuts.
 * 5) Then, refrigerate until about an hour prior to serving.
 * 6) Allow to come to room temperature, then serve with your favorite crackers and breads.
 * 7) NOTE: This particular Cheese ball has rich flavors which only improve with time.
 * 8) I usually make it a few days before I am going to serve it so the flavors have time to get acquainted.
 * 9) It is also wonderful with the addition of crumbled Bacon.
