List of Ingredients




Ingredients
2 packages Cream Cheese
tops of green onions (about three)
bacon (browned in microwave and crumbled)
2/3 package (envelope) of Ranch Style Dressing Mix
l/2 bottle of Durkee Famous Sandwich and Salad Sauce (l0 oz.bottle)
2 packages whole almonds





Recipe



Instructions
Mix all above together well. I use two or three slices bacon (use per your taste)...Mix and mound into two smallish balls. I place them on a nice cutting board or platter. Starting at the bottom of the balls, "layer" whole almonds---it's sort of like "putting a roof" on. See picture.

When finished, balls will resemble pinecones (because of the almonds). My fiancee says they look like pineapples. Just before serving, stick sprigs of pine or whatever greenery is available.....at the very top....This completes the "pine cone" or "pine apple" look.
Every time I take this anywhere or serve it, everyone wants the recipe, so guess it's a success...and an especially attractive dish. Serve this with crackers...Dip into it with them.
