Stir in green onions. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Form cheese mixture into the shape of a large pinecone. Place on serving plate. Beginning at narrow end of cone, carefully press almonds about 1/4-inch deep into cheese mixture in rows, making sure that pointed end of each almond extends at a slight angle. Continue, with rows slightly overlapping, until all cheese is covered. Garnish pinecone with pine sprigs, if desired. Serve with crackers. Makes about 25 servings.
