Praline Crusted Cheese Ball

Here is a recipe I found online and tweaked a bit.  Great for holiday parties. 




8 oz cream cheese, softened
1-2 green onions, finely diced
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup butter 
1/4 cup brown sugar 
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard 
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans 

Combine cream cheese, onions, garlic, 1 tsp Worcestershire and Cajun seasoning in a bowl. Mix well and shape into a 4-inch circle, about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate for one hour.

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard and pecans. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, until sugar is dissolved.

Remove cheese ball from refrigerate and place on serving platter. Pour pecan mixture over cheese ball. As praline mixture cools, press into cheese to complete cover

Cheese ball can be refrigerated until ready to serve. Remove cheese ball one hour before serving to come to room temperature. Serve with crackers.
