*****************Individual Party Cheese Balls******************* Yields 20 - 24 mini cheese balls. Ingredients: 2 packages (8-ounces each) cream cheese, softened at room temperature 5 ounces shredded cheese (I prefer sharp) 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder 3 - 4 green onions, chopped finely Fresh parsley, chopped finely Fresh baby dill, chopped finely Crushed red pepper flakes Sesame seeds, slightly toasted and cooled Directions: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder and green onions until well-blended. Refrigerate cream cheese mixture until well-chilled. Roll into 1-inch balls. (Using wet hands works well for this task.) NOTE: The cream cheese balls can be made 1 - 2 days in advance and stored in your refrigerator in an airtight container until youre ready to coat them shortly before serving. Roll in the coatings of your choice. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They can be coated several hours in advance of serving. Serve with crackers or mini toasts. I placed a cute party pick in each cheese ball for easier service. I, also, find that they make a convenient spreader for guests to spread their cheese onto their crackers. **You can use different coatings : cooked bacon, crumbled Parsley & Paprika mixed together (loved the red and green look for Christmas) Paprika by itself chopped chives chopped pecans
