Mini Melting Snowman Cheese Balls are a fun and festive appetizer perfect for any holiday gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or chives)
  • Mini pretzel sticks
  • Black olives (sliced)
  • Carrot sticks (for noses)
  • Mini marshmallows (for melting snow)
  • Toothpicks (for assembly)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Fold in the chopped fresh herbs to add flavor and a pop of color to your cheese mixture.
  3. Using your hands, scoop out a portion of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped into balls.
  4. Place the cheese balls on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Once chilled, take a cheese ball and insert a mini pretzel stick into the top for the snowman’s hat. Then, use a toothpick to attach sliced olives for eyes and a carrot stick for the nose.
  6. Create the Melting Effect: To give the appearance of melting snow, place a few mini marshmallows around the base of each snowman cheese ball.
  7. Arrange the finished snowman cheese balls on a festive platter, and they are ready to be enjoyed!

Notes
