Lets just think ahead about Thanksgiving dinner.  Is there ever a gathering in the kitchen of hungry and impatient people?  I know there is in mine, so it is always best to have a few munchies out to keep the crowd from getting ravenous.  This cheese ball is great to have sitting out on the counter or the table to keep those bellies from starving while waiting just 20 more minutes {You know you claim this at least a few times on the big day}.  And don’t start thinking there is no way there is time to make one more thing that day. {I know you are thinking it}  You can make this a couple of days in advance and wrap it up tight in plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.

And don’t forget all those holiday parties….This travels easy as well.  It is quick and it is so yummy.  It pleases the crowds every time.  If you are having a small get together just split it in half.  Either make one cheese ball or make 2 small ones and keep one at home for yourself.  It’s always good just watching a movie at home with your family.
