Around the holidays, it’s a tradition for our family to make this Easy Cheese Ball. The tradition began when I was a little girl, and my family would make these in mass production to give to our neighbors each year. I remember one year we made more than 75 of them to give away because we didn’t want anyone to feel left out if they didn’t get a cheese ball from the Millett family. Even though I don’t make them to give away, I do like to make 1 or 2 during the holidays because it’s really yummy to eat.
