the-perfect-cheese-ball

Is a cheese addict a real thing?! If so, I may need an intervention. If not, I can safely say that cheese is one of my top three favorite foods! Naturally, I am a BIG fan of cheese balls, and look forward to them at parties and gatherings (especially around the holidays)! There are a variety of different flavors and recipes and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever met one I didn’t enjoy (haha) but this may be my perfect cheese ball! 

Not only is it delicious but it is SUPER easy to whip together, and I just think it is so pretty! It is fun to bring to gatherings or use as an appetizer on special occasions because its as visually appealing as it is yummy! As with all cheese balls, it is super customizable as well, so if there is something you don’t like or are out of you can just leave it out and it will still turn out just fine!

Not only is this cheese ball freaking delicious but it is also beautiful and easy to make! The perfect appetizer to bring to any get together!

You ready for the super easy cheese ball recipe?!
