Gorgonzola Walnut Spread

Directions

1. 1
   Toast nuts. Use a wooden spoon to thoroughly mix cream cheese and gorgonzola. Then add 1/2 cup of the chopped nuts. Turn into a decorative dish or small springform pan. Press remainder of the nuts into the top and chill until 30 minutes before serving time. Serve with plain crackers and slices of pears or clumps of grapes.
2. 2
   Recipe may be prepared up to 2 days before serving, but if planning to do this, do not put nuts on top until just before serving so they will remain crisp.
3. 3
   This spread will have a much smoother consistency if you make it in a food processor. (It's up to you.)
4. 4
   For the road, pack the spread into two empty (clean) 8-ounce yogurt containers with lids. Don't forget a couple of plastic knives and a box of your favorite crackers. We love it spread on celery sticks.
