Honey Walnut Cream Cheese

We came up with this recipe for honey walnut cream cheese after trying Trader Joe's version. This was much better since we used the orange blossom honey my mom buys from the local farmers' market. She suggests toasting the walnuts. To make a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of granulated sugar while pulsing in the processor. Spread a layer on a slice of your favorite bread and enjoy!
