Cheese Truffles

 I didn't make chocolate truffles this holiday season...I have a hard time getting the chocolate to set up when it is warm.  These might be the only truffles we have this year...cheese sets up easier!  LOL

2 8oz. pkgs. cream cheese softened
1 8oz. pkg. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder
Dash cayenne pepper
1/4 C. chopped roasted red peppers
2 green onions, sliced
1 2/3 C. chopped pecans
Assorted crackers

Beat first 4 ingredients with mixer until blended.  Divide in half.  Add peppers to half, and onions to remaining half; mix until blended.

Refrigerate several hours or until chilled.  Shape into 24 1-inch balls; roll in nuts, serve with crackers.
