Cheese Balls

Another delicious recipe from MaJo! We make cheese balls every Christmas. Not only are they delicious, but they make easy gifts for friends AND if you take the labels off the little cheese spread jars (soak them under hot water) then you have perfect little glass cups! Tripled recipe makes 8 regular sized balls.

  Ingredients:
  • 1 (eight ounce) cream cheese
  • 1 (five ounce) Rocha Blue cheese spread
  • 2 (five ounce) Old English (cheese spread, not the cologne)
  • 1 tablespoon grated onion
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Couple tablespoons fresh parsley-chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  • Choice of crackers (Ritz, etc.)
Directions:
  • Mix all ingredients EXCEPT the 1/2 cup of nuts, the parsley and the crackers.
(You still mix in the 1/4 cup of chopped nuts, just not the 1/2 a cup. Make sense?)
  • Lay down plastic wrap, enough to wrap around a ball and tie.
  • Mix the 1/2 cup of nuts and the parsley.
  • Lay out a small amount (enough to cover the outside of your ball) of nut/parsley mixture on plastic wrap.
  • Drop desired amount of cheese ball mix onto this.
  • Wrap up plastic wrap to form a ball and tie closed.
  • Refrigerate until ready to eat!
