Bree's Cheese Ball
Needing something just a little bit extra than the usual cheese platter? This is it Delicious and homemade (so you claim the glory) love at first bite
Sometimes you just need to go a little extra don't you? Especially at this time of year. Well here you go. We have a couple of cheeseball recipes on here and they are excellent, but this one is extra. Try it and see. We loved it instantly and it didn't last long as a result. It will be on my menu this year sometime, not sure when, but definitely on there! Yum!
