1

(7-oz.) pkg. round Gouda cheese with red wax coating

Spoon half of mixture into wax shell, mounding in center. Refrigerate remaining cheese mixture; refill wax shell as needed. Serve with assorted crackers. To give as gift, wrap cheese-filled wax shell in decorative cellophane and tie with bow. Store in refrigerator.
