  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt blend
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

In a large bowl, beat the cheeses, mustard, paprika, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne or pepper sauce until well blended and smooth. Refrigerate until firm enough to handle.

Thank goodness I didn't read the bad review before I made these. They have been such a hit, I've made them for two parties and now people are asking me for the recipe. They are absolutely deelish - but a lot of calories!
