Celebration Cheese Balls, Wrap up the season’s best with festive cheese balls that are always in good taste! A few simple ingredients that go together in minutes three fun, flavors that are darling, do-ahead treat The recipe makes three cheese balls that you pull out of the refrigerator when guest drop by or simply when you crave a tasty snack They’ll keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge Packaged up in colored plastic wrap and tied with bright ribbons, they also make a quick and easy gifts for friends, family and neighbors Allow cheese balls, dips and spreads that contain cream cheese to stand out at room temperature 15 minutes before serving, and they’ll spread more easily Each serving is 1/4 cup This came from Taste Of Home Cooking For 2 I have not tried this recipe just posting for safe keeping , Made this for a family Christmas Eve party and let them sit overnight to blend flavors The horseradish/bacon one gets very high marks The pesto ball was okay but somewhat overpowering with pesto Since pine nuts here are about $9 per about a cup of them, I chose to use walnuts instead and they worked well The salsa ball was not good at all, although one person said they liked it The tomato paste was just plain weird and had to try to cover that up with more cilantro, red pepper flakes, and even some sharp cheddar Plus, the salsa ball did not turn into a ball but more of a blob Will be making the horseradish/bacon again, but won’t be making the other two Thanks for sharing the idea was great , Wrap up the season’s best with festive cheese balls that are always in good taste!
