Cheese Ball Trio

These three cheese balls always make an appearance during the holiday season.  They are something my Aunt Lori always brings and I love them!!  They are also very easy and quick to make so I thought why not have them for Super Bowl.

These cheese balls will go great with a variety of crackers or vegetables.  The dried cranberry cheese ball is slightly sweet and always a hit with the kids.  It also happens to be my favorite one.  The party and dried beef cheese balls are savory and are crowd pleasers as well.
