This one is from a magazine clipping (source unknown) and although it
 calls for rolling it in parsley I'm sure crushed nuts would work:
 SPICY CHEESE BALL
 1       8 oz package cream cheese. softened
 3/4     cup shredded Cheddar cheese
 1/2     cup shredded Gruyere cheese
 1/2     cup finely chopped walnuts
 2       tbsp port
 1       tbsp grated onion
 1       tsp Worcestershire sauce
 1       tsp prepared horseradish
 1/8     tsp ground red pepper
 1/2     cup chopped parsley
 French bread
 In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Stir in Cheddar and
 Gruyere cheeses, walnuts, port, onion, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish
 and red pepper. Shape mixture into a ball. Wrap in wax paper and chill 2
 hours or until firm. Unwrap cheese and roll in parsley until evenly
 coated. Wrap and refrigerate. Before serving, let stand at room
 temperature 30 minutes. Serve with French bread.
