Best Cheese Ball Ever

This is a Christmas tradition for my family (recipe courtesy of Kori Leary)

2 - 8oz. Cream Cheese                                 
1/2 Cup Grated Cheddar Cheese                 
1 tsp. Chopped Chives (optional-I omit)     
1 tsp. Garlic Salt  
1 tsp. Parsley (I use dried)                                       
1 - 5oz. Old English Kraft Spread
1 Tb. Miracle Whip
1/2 tsp. Onion, grated (with juice)
1 tsp. Lemon Juice 

Mix all ingredients together. If mixture does not seem stiff enough to roll, can chill it in the refrigerator for an hour before rolling in nuts. Roll in chopped nuts (I prefer finely chopped pecans) to form a cheese ball.  Can chill overnight. We love it served with Chicken and a Biscuit crackers.

Grandma Wonnacott's Christmas Corn Pops

10 cups Corn Pops
1 1/3 cubes butter
2/3 cups sugar
2 Tb. water and 1 tsp vanilla

Melt butter in pan. Add sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Boil fast 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over corn pops in a large bowl and stir until evenly coated. Spread out on cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes at 225 degrees.

So good, so addictive and so a tradition!
