Festive Cheese Ball - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
    6 oz. garlic cheese log (chopped)
    8 oz. Velveeta cheese (grated)
    1/2 c. pecans, chopped
    1 - 2 tsp. garlic, minced
    2 - 3 Tbsp. parsley flakes
    2 Tbsp. chili powder
Preparation
    On a sheet of wax paper, sprinkle together parsley flakes, chili powder, and half the pecans.
    Set aside.
    In a mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, garlic cheese log and grated Velveeta together. Add the other half of the pecans and 1-2 tsp. of minced garlic. Using clean hands or a mixer, thoroughly mix and blend the three cheeses, pecans and garlic together.
    (Note:
    Allowing cheese to soften at room temperature makes the blending process easier.) Shape cheese into a ball.
    Roll cheese ball in parsley flakes, chili powder and pecans making sure cheese ball is completely coated.
    Chill cheese ball overnight.
    Serve with Sociable brand crackers.
