Spicy Cheese Ball from delish.com

  • 1 package(s) (8-ounce) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup(s) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon(s) minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
  • 1 cup(s) finely chopped walnuts

Directions
  1. Put the cream cheese, Cheddar, garlic, parsley, cayenne and black peppers, and salt in a food processor. Process for 5 to 10 seconds, until well blended. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Spread the chopped walnuts on a plate. Shape the cheese mixture into 35 to 40 small cheese balls, each about the size of a large marble. Roll each cheese ball in the walnuts, coating the outside (you may have to press a little to ensure sticking).
  3. Serve the cheese balls on a large platter. You can put a toothpick in each ball, but you could also surround them with crackers and let guests use their hands. It all depends on what kind of party you’re having.
