Easy Quick Pecan Walnut Cheese Balls
Cheese is always welcomed and this special cheese ball can be prepared the day before, giving you extra time the day of the party to take care of other last-minute details.
What You Need:
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator one hour before preparation to let it soften. Put the cream cheese, shredded cheese and dressing mix into a large bowl. Mix them together until blended. Shape into two balls.
Put the walnuts and pecans into a bowl or plastic bag and mix. Spread the nuts on a sheet of waxed paper and roll each ball around on the mix to completely cover. Spear each cheese cube and randomly place on the top and around the center of the ball. Put on a platter, cover with waxed paper, and place the cheese balls into the refrigerator to cool from a minimum of two hours to overnight.
Set the cheese balls in separate areas for wandering guests, with several plastic knives to help with cutting a portion to add to the snacks. Whether you serve the cheese balls on small plastic saucers or bowls, or place on two separate platters with chips, crackers, and pretzels surrounding each one, these easy party appetizers will be a hit. Other recipes you find will suggest different cheeses, coatings, and many will be quick easy appetizers for parties with crowd pleasing features.
When using the colorful wooden toothpicks to hold appetizers together, remember that moisture may cause some of the dye to bleed sandwiches, cheeses, and other absorbing snacks. Verify that the picks you choose have harmless coloring, or select the colorful plastic "spears" or "swords" that can be found at almost any store.
Depending on the season, fresh green seedless grapes or sliced kiwi fruit accompany these appetizers well. If fresh fruit season has ended, drain a large can of chunk pineapple and place the chunks on a platter with baby carrots and celery sticks, two items always great for spreading with the delicious cheese balls you have created.
