1 pkg. (250 g) PHILADELPHIA Light Brick Cream Cheese Spread, softened

2 cups KRAFT Tex Mex Shredded Cheese

2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp. chopped canned green chiles

1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted

RITZ Crackers

PLACE cream cheese spread, shredded cheese and mustard in food processor or blender; cover. Process until well blended. Stir in chilies. Place in freezer for 20 min. to firm slightly for easier handling when ready to shape.

PLACE on sheet of wax paper; shape into 4-inch oval to resemble a "pinecone." Insert almonds in rows to completely cover cream cheese mixture. Cover.

REFRIGERATE at least 2 hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature 15 min. before serving with crackers.
