1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
4 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. grated onion
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 c. crumbled blue cheese
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 c. snipped parsley
2 tbsp. chopped pecans
2 tsp. cracked black pepper

Let cream cheese and Cheddar cheese stand at room temperature until softened. In mixer bowl combine cheeses, onion, milk and Worcestershire; beat with electric mixer until fluffy. Divide mixture into thirds, about 1 cup each. To one portion beat in blue cheese; to a second portion stir in the garlic powder. Shape each portion into a ball; chill 30 minutes until slightly firm.

Roll the blue cheese ball in snipped parsley. Roll the garlic cheese ball in the chopped pecans. Roll the plain cheese ball in black pepper. Chill at least 1 hour more until cheese balls are firm. Serve with crisp crackers. Makes 3 cheese balls.
