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.
