Easter Carrot Cheese Log

Adapted from the Taste of Home's Carrot-Shaped Cheese Spread Recipe

No carrots are in it, but this eye-catching appetizer was a big hit this Easter (2015). Not too salty and not too spicy...just right! And, for me the hostess, it was quick and easy to make--an extra bonus!
