Cheese Balls

Cheese Balls

A must-have at your next party. Cheese balls are easy to make and are always a favorite. Roll the cheese mixture into a ball and roll in nuts or other toppings. Serve with crackers, chips, or pita triangles. Cheese balls are great for holidays as the cheese can be molded into festive shapes and garnished accordingly, like the Almond Cheese Pinecone recipe.
