Fun Food For Festive Feasting - Recipe 2

Cheese balls. I adore cheese balls! They're so cute and colorful and just scream PARTY! While they can be quite costly to purchase, they're so easy and economical to make at home. AND there's like what, a million flavors of cheese out there, so you can make up your own recipes, add diced vegetables and top with nuts, dried parsley or other herbs. PLUS, easy peasy, they can be made in advance of your party and refrigerated! A real time saver during this hectic month! So, why not try the recipe below? CHEESE PARTY!
