http://media.bonnint.net/slc/2495/249543/24954323.jpg?filter=ksl/150x92_crop

* 8 oz. cream cheese
* 3 oz. Cache valley sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

* 3 Tbs finely chopped onion
* 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
* 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
* Salt and black pepper to taste

2) Combine all ingredients and mix well with an electric hand mixer at medium speed until fluffy.

3) Cover mixture and chill for 4 hours or overnight.

4) Remove chilled mixture from refrigerator and form into conical pine cone shape.
