HERBED CHEESE SPREAD
Tastes just like the expensive Boursin® cheese spread you buy at the store. Reduced-fat cream cheese works well in this recipe. Delicious spread on crackers or as a fill on celery sticks. Good shelf life in the refrigerator. This can be eaten right way, but it's best if refrigerated for at least one day before serving.

FIRESIDE CHEESE SPREAD
When our family and friends get together for holidays or other occasions, I serve this appetizer. It's always a success. If you prefer, try a Swiss cheese spread instead of the cheddar. And, if you enjoy garlic, substitute a small clove of minced garlic for the garlic powder. -Debbie Terenzini-Wilkerson, Lusby, Maryland

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x13 inch pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in the honey and corn syrup, then beat in the eggs one at a time until the batter is light and fluffy. Stir in milk and vanilla. Combine the cocoa, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder and flour; stir into the honey mixture until fully incorporated. Batter will be thick. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, and spread flat.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not over bake, or the cakes will not be chewy. Cut into squares while still warm, remove from the pan, and let cool. Frost with cream cheese frosting, and garnish each piece with a pecan half.

CANADIAN SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD
Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

Tips:
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This facilitates a smooth and creamy spread. - Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh herbs, flavorful cheeses, and aromatic spices make a world of difference. - Don't overmix the spread. Overmixing can result in a dense and unappetizing texture. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. - For a smoother spread, finely chop or grate solid ingredients like vegetables, nuts, and hard cheeses. - Experiment with different flavor combinations to create unique and delicious spreads. The possibilities are endless! - Serve the spread at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. If the spread has been refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. - Garnish the spread with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of nuts before serving. This adds a touch of color and flavor.Conclusion:
Cheese spreads are a versatile and delicious addition to any party or gathering. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a spread that everyone will enjoy.
