Hi Brenda - I really like this recipe, which I posted here on the site back in 2000. It might be similar to the one you are looking for (and you can roll it in nuts, if you like). Hope this helps you out!

White Cheddar and Jalapeno Spread
I found this from a link on the "daily menu" part of recipelink.com. It is great.

1/2 pound white Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
1/8 cup mayonnaise
3 scallions, minced
5 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Pinch of salt
Hot pepper sauce to taste

Let shredded cheddar get to room temp while cutting and measuring other ingredients, so that it blends with other ingredients
easily. Then, blend all ingredients until smooth.
Best when allowed to refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups
