Hickory Flavored Cheese Spread

1, 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 cup finely shredded, sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. hickory salt
1/2 cup finely chopped, toasted, blanched almonds

With a wooden spoon, beat cream cheese until fluffy; Add cheddar cheese, hickory salt; continue to cream until well blended. Add almonds and mix well. Cover and refrigerate. Let come to room temperature before serving. Makes about 2? cups. (This recipe is old and I can't read how much this makes. My best guess is 2 cups.) Double or triple as needed. Pack into reuseable plastic container(s) or small jar(s). This makes a good gift.
