For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture. If you don’t have pecans on hand, walnuts or almonds make great substitutes. To prevent sticking, lightly grease your hands with cooking spray before shaping the cheese ball. This cheese ball can be made 1-2 days in advance. Just be sure to wrap it tightly and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
