Port Wine Cheese Ball
I love this from the store, but too expensive. I found 1 recipe for this, and it didn't work. I messed around with it until it was what I wanted. The way my staff at work were acting, they think this is the best. I do too, and hope the people at recipezaar enjoy it as well.

In a food processor, combine cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Pulse the food processor on and off until the two are just mixed. Put this cheese mixture into a bowl. In the food processor, process butter until smooth. While the machine is running, pour in small amounts of Port Wine, processing steadily until well mixed. Add the port wine/butter mixture to the cheese mixture. Mix together with a spoon. Form cheese into a ball, roll in chopped pecans, or use walnuts if you'd rather. Serve with crackers. Enjoy!
