Cheese Balls

Cheese balls are something that people might consider to be store bought only, but are actually super easy to make at home! Just combine your favorite varieties of soft cheeses, grated hard cheeses, different spices, and roll into a ball. It’s that simple! Here is a basic recipe that uses cheddar with almonds and is great spread on crackers. To grate the cheddar cheese use the smaller option on your cheese grater so you get it extra fine. Enjoy this recipe or use it as a base and let your creative juices flow.
