Horseradish Cheddar Cheese Ball

I love horseradish and always look for more ways to use it, this cheese ball is tasty! The recipe comes from an advertisement in Food Network magazine. The horseradish and Worcestershire make it zesty.

Pictured is half a batch.

I think it would be very good with celery, now I didn't try it with celery (not with crackers around)... 

but I think it would be good:@)

And as with most cream cheese based spreads, any leftovers are great on a bagel!
