Baked Cheese Balls
I've tried a number of baked cheese ball recipes, and this is my favorite. These are quick and easy to make, they use just a few common ingredients, and they are delicious!
Whenever I'm asked to bring an appetizer to a potluck, this is usually what I make. My children love these.
These are also good to take to a Christmas cookie exchange. It's nice to have a savory treat among all the sweets! This recipe makes about 36 little balls, depending on how big you make them, of course!

Ideas for making this recipe your own - Try using different cheeses. I wonder how mozzarella would work, or Gouda?
Tips - I save the foil wrapper from butter for greasing baking sheets. There is usually enough butter on a wrapper to grease a cookie sheet or two.

- These cheese balls freeze well.
