I used to make then to take to work with crackers for shared lunches and they were always eaten fast - never any left over.
Punnet of Cream cheese, beat it to soften it and then add any of the following in any quantities that you have in the cupboard. Raisins or sultannas, strawberries, choc bits, slithered almonds, pineapple bits, dried apricots cut up and beat to mix. Roll into a ball and on more slithered almonds so the ball is covered. Wrap in glad wrap and pop in the fridge. Best made a day before its eaten to allow the flavours to go through it. Very Yum.

I saved this recipe from a post on here, to make this Christmas:
Christmas Cheese Mould
Use a smallish bowl (depending on how big you want it to be), and line it with glad wrap.
Cover the bottom of the bowl with sundried tomatoes, with the seedy side down so it will look pretty when you turn it out. Layer ingredients in this order... Cream cheese, toasted pinenuts, basil pesto, cream cheese, pinenuts, sundried tomatoes, cream cheese, pinenuts basil pesto etc. Until it's as big as you want it! End with a layer of cream cheese and leave to chill overnight before turning out of the bowl and taking off the glad wrap. Serve with selection of crackers and other yummy things.
The idea is that it's layered with red and green which is what makes it Christmassy and it's also very yum. Hope you like it!
