Vegan Chipotle Cheddar Cheese Sauce

The theme for this potluck at work was dips & spreads & at the time, I was completely clueless as to what to make or bring. My coworker had tried this recipe & used it as a sauce & said it was really good. Only I found out after, she made hers a little different. The flavor was good, it just looks a little funky. I'm not sure if I'll make this version again but I'm up for trying other vegan versions again.
