Instructions: Mix first 4 ingredients. Place some plastic wrap in a mixing bowl that will hold the mixture, put the mixture in this bowl and fold the plastic wrap over the spread to fully cover. Chill in fridge at least 4 hours. Remove from fridge, with the spread still wrapped remove it from the bowl & use your hands to shape into a ball. Unwrap the spread, roll in the chives & pecans to cover. Place on a platter & surround with assorted crackers & veggie sticks.

NOTES : I use chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, canned. Try not to get too much of the sauce as it makes the spread too runny. Finley chop the peppers.
