A cheese ball is one of the most classic holiday appetizers ever!

A homemade cheeseball makes for an excellent snack or party favor (especially if your guests like to impress their friends).

What I Love about this Classic Cheese Ball:
Make-Ahead Appetizer:
If you want to, make this recipe a couple of days in advance and store it. However, I recommend waiting until the last minute, so the nuts don’t get soft before serving!
Lots of Flavor:
This is not a boring cheeseball. With the mixture of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan with Worcestershire sauce, and spices, this will be sure to please even your most discerning guest!
You might want to stick around for seconds because it doesn’t get much better than this – unless you add some hot sauce or sriracha sauce, which adds more zesty zip without making things spicey enough already…
Easy:
There is nothing better around the holidays than an easy appetizer that looks amazing! This can go anywhere from the Thanksgiving Dinner table to a fancy dinner party!
