Our Favorite Cheese Balls

Our Family has two favorite cheese ball recipes. Lauren made these cute pine cones and snowman with the cheese balls this year. Everyone always goes crazy for these, and they are so easy. I have made these as Christmas gifts and give with a box of crackers.

3 green onions chopped use the green part

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated

1 pkg. hidden valley ranch dressing mix (dry) Mix all together shape into ball, snowman, pine cone. Roll in nuts if you like. Chill until ready to serve with crackers.

1 8 oz softened cream cheese

3 tsp. chopped black olives

Mix all together form into ball, it tastes good plain or roll it in chopped toasted pecans. I use wax paper to roll and chill in. Chill until ready to serve with crackers.
