Cheese balls are a great appetizer. You can do so much to make them different and they come together so fast. Let me tell you that this version tastes amazing! The ball I brought to the party was huge and it was just about gone when I left! I love the colors of this cheese ball too. It has green and red in the ball itself and then the outside is covered in bright, fresh parsley! Serve it with a tasty cracker or just eat it by the spoonful, just kidding, and you’ll be happy!
