The Nutsnacker

My beautiful mom has been whipping up The Nutsnacker, one of my very favorite holiday appetizers, for as long as I can remember. A bacon, dill cheese ball with scallions you decorate with toasted almonds to look like a pine cone, it comes together in no time with just a few ingredients and is so satisfying spread on a wheat thin.
