Starting at the"bottom" of the pine cone lay almonds down flat on cream cheese with narrow end at bottom and wider, rounded end at top.
• Continue with more rows of almonds across the pinecone, slightly overlapping each row on the previous row.
• Remember that branch the pine cone was hanging from?
