This was a tough decision to choose a cheddar from all these great Cabot Creamery Cheeses.

I chose White Oak Cheddar. I’m glad I did. It melts perfectly. Cabot’s Legacy Cheddar cheeses aren’t oily but smooth and creamy. Slightly melting it made it spreadable. That quality is very handy when creating hand held snacks and sandwiches.

I love hand held snacks and appetizers. Informal gatherings with friends are best. Dipping snacks without a drippy mess is even better.

Cheddary Good Chicken Bites cradle delicate chicken pieces spiced up with horseradish rolled in a flour tortilla spread with cheddar goodness! Baked not fried or grilled. What is the dip, you ask? Hummus. I love garlic hummus but any kind will do! The cheddar blends perfectly with all these flavors. How could the recipe be anything but awesome!
