I love cheese balls. Always have, and always will. I was asked to bring a cheese ball to a holiday party recently, and instead of the usual ball covered with slivered almonds, I decided to get a little creative! I got this idea from the KRAFT Web site, then made up my own recipe. You can, of course, shape this recipe into a ball if it’s not winter and it would taste just as good 🙂
Snowman Ranch Cheese Ball
 
Printable recipe
 
Ingredients
 
1 pkg cream cheese, softened (room temperature) – I use 1/3 less fat cream cheese
 
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
 
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
 
1/2 packet ranch dressing mix
 
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
 
Peppercorns
 
Baby carrot
 
Directions
 
1. Mix first five ingredients in a mixer until thoroughly combined.
 
2. Shape into 3 balls, one large, one medium and one small then roll each in the parmesan cheese to coat. Place on a serving tray like a snowman.
 
3. Use peppercorns as the snowman’s eyes, buttons and smile, and cut a sliver of the baby carrot for the nose. Serve with your favorite crackers! 
 
Note: You can also shape into one big ball if you prefer.

  2. Love these so much!! My daughter hasn’t quite accepted the fact it is unlikely we’ll get snow for Christmas in the UK, so maybe these will help ease his disappointment just a little!!
