My sister shared this recipe with me when I was in school and still learning to cook. It's an excellent appetizer that's remained a favorite through the years. —Patty Glasgow, Dresden, Ontario Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
1/4 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions |
1/8 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
1/3 cup sesame seeds, toasted |
1 medium sweet red pepper |
1 medium green pepper |
assorted crackers |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, onions, Worcestershire and hot pepper sauce until blended. Form 1/2 cup cheese mixture into a 4-in. circle. Coat with parsley.
2. Form the remaining cheese mixture into a cylinder; roll in sesame seeds. Place on top of circle. Cut a piece of red pepper to resemble a flame; insert into the top of the candle. Cut one ring from the green pepper; cut in half. Position one half on the side for handle. (Save remaining peppers for another use.) Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 4-1/2 cups.
