Recipe

Mini cheeseballs with cracker wedges

(makes approximately 24 depending on the size )

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon oregano

1 green onion, chopped

Pinch of salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper

Crushed nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds

1. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the nuts. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until smooth or well combined.

2. You can cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

3. Once chilled, scoop out the mixture and roll it into a ball. I use a small cookie scoop or about 1 Tablespoon. Continue until all the mixture is used.

4. Roll the cheeseballs into the crushed nuts.

5. Gently wedge 2 small crackers into each cheeseball at an angle.

6. Arrange on a platter and serve.

Are these not just the cutest little things!
