Who doesn’t love a 2 for 1 deal?  Well, this Sharp Cheddar and Muenster Cheese Spread recipe delivers that…and more.  And, with the Super Bowl right around the corner, this will be a perfect fit for your game time appetizers.

You can serve this cheese spread either Hot or Cold.  You’ll be surprised that each way has an entirely different flavor, look and appeal.  I just served this at my January bunco party, and no one could tell that these two came from the same batch of ingredients.

I’m not quite sure which way I like better, but based on what was left on the platter at the party, my guests preferred the Hot version.

Would love to hear from you which one you prefer!!
