When it's game time bite size snacks score points with those wild fans. Spicy Cheese Balls is a simple, fantastic appetizer recipe. Easy to make, easy to enjoy, easy to knock back, call the shots and ref your family's appetite.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
Instructions
- Put the cream cheese, cheddar, garlic, parsley, cayenne and black peppers, and salt in a food processor. Process for 5 to 10 seconds, until well blended. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Spread the chopped walnuts on a plate. Shape the cheese mixture into 35 to 40 small cheese balls, each about the size of a large marble. Roll each cheese ball in the walnuts, coating the outside (you may have to press a little to ensure sticking).
- Serve the cheese balls on a large platter. You can put a toothpick in each ball, but you could also surround them with crackers and let guests use their hands. It all depends on what kind of party you’re having.
