Cranberry Walnut Cheeseball

Cranberry Walnut Cheeseball

Although, Hickory Farm's is the king when it comes to Cheeseball, they got nothing on a delicious homemade Cheeseball that will have guests begging for more and for the recipe. This is sweet and savory, goes great with one of the most popular butter crackers of the holidays and super easy to make. No gathering should be without this yummy treat.

Ingredients:

1. 12 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
2. 4-6 oz. Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese (in special cheese section, price $3.49-5.49, depends on store and sales)
3. 4 oz. Feta Cheese (optional), crumbled
4. 1 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts, finely chopped in a food processor or blender
5. Salt and Pepper

Directions:

1. Let the cream cheese soften on the counter, can be done overnight.
2. Place the Cream Cheese, Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese, and Feta into a bowl.
3. Spray hands with cooking spray, to keep everything from sticking too bad, mix the cheeses together well, add salt and pepper to taste, and form into a ball.
4. Place the finely chopped walnuts on a plate and roll the ball around until covered in walnuts.
5. Put the cheeseball back into the preparation bowl, pour remaining nuts over it, cover and store for four hours to overnight.
6. Before serving, place on a platter or plain white plate with crackers around it.

Not only will this be a hit at a holiday gathering for family and friends, it can be taken to cover dishes at church and work and will more than likely be gone. Merry Christmas Ya'll!!!
