Grape Truffles (Grape And Bleu Cheese) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 bunch seedless white grapes, washed and dried (about 1 1/2 pounds)
    4 ounces cream cheese or 4 ounces neufchatel cheese, softened
    8 ounces blue cheese, softened
    3 tablespoons port wine
    1 cup ground nuts (pistachios, preferably)
Preparation
    Mash the cream and bleu cheese in a bowl until they are combined well.
    Add the port.
    Mix until all ingredients are very well combined.
    Chill the cheese mixture for about an hour or two.
    Using a regular spoon, scoop some cheese into the bowl of the spoon and using a grape, scrape the cheese out of the spoon.
    Press the cheese around the grape and roll in your hands to completely cover it well.
    Roll the cheese-covered grape in the ground nuts.
    Continue with remaining grapes.
    Chill until ready to serve.
    Note: if you have leftover cheese, you can mix it with a few chopped nuts and some chopped grapes to make a delicious spread, too.
