Easy Cheese Balls

Looks can be deceiving! Just because these appetizers look gourmet, doesn’t mean they take hours to make. Simply roll goat cheese into bite-sized balls and refrigerate for an hour. Then, shake them up in a Ziploc® brand holiday bag and insert a pretzel stick. Try experimenting with a variety of chopped nuts and spices. We love toasted walnuts, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. These cheese balls are so easy to make, it practically feels like cheating. Full Recipe
