Cheese balls show up on every Christmas sideboard, don’t they? And no wonder. They can be made ahead, kept in the fridge and just set out with absolutely no fuss…and they are delicious. Truly one of the world’s perfect foods. I enjoy them as a midnight snack with a few crackers, as well. This one is so simple it is crazy, but yummy!
