~ Frosty the Cheeseball ~

Here is a fun treat for New Year's Eve!

A yummy little cheeseball ALMOST too cute to eat.

2 -  80z. packages of cream cheese - softened

minced garlic to taste - I usually use two toes

optional - minced onion to taste

About  2 cups grated monterey jack cheese 

and white sharp cheddar cheese

raisins for eyes, buttons

carrot tip or sliver of cheddar cheese for nose

ribbon or fruit snack for scarf

rye breads for hat

In the bowl of mixer blend softened cream cheese 

(put aside about 1 tablespoon for hat)

add minced garlic and onion

add about 1/2 cup of combined cheeses

place cheese mixture in saran wrap and place 

in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Remove from freezer and form into snowballs

Roll balls into remaining grated cheeses

stack and secure with a skewer

Adorn.

I cut the hat out of the mini deli ryebreads

with my measuring cups and a small paring knife.
