Recipe - Chipotle Cream Cheese Spread

8 ounce Cream cheese; softened
4 Chipotle peppers; * see note
2 tablespoon Onion; finely chopped
1 small Jar pimientos; finely
chopped
Chives; chopped
Pecans; chopped

Mix first 4 ingredients. Place some plastic wrap in a mixing bowl that will
hold the mixture, put the mixture in this bowl and fold the plastic wrap
over the spread to fully cover. Chill in fridge at least 4 hours. Remove
from fridge, with the spread still wrapped remove it from the bowl & use
your hands to shape into a ball. Unwrap the spread, roll in the chives &
pecans to cover. Place on a platter & surround with assorted crackers &
veggie sticks.

NOTES : I use chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, canned. Try not to get too
much of the sauce as it makes the spread too runny. Finley chop the
peppers.
