HOLIDAY TWO-CHEESE LOGS
This is especially pretty to serve during the Christmas holidays, as well as Valentine's day. Easy to make and tasty too! When serving, place in the center of a plate and surround with an assortment of crackers. Prep time does not include chilling time. Recipe does not say how many servings. I'm thinking I got 30 some servings. My notes say this comes from a Nursing Home older cookbook.
