Helpful hints: Freeze cheese balls at least a few hours before baking. Freezing allows cheese to harden so balls hold their shape in the oven. Unbaked cheese balls may be kept in the freezer in a tightly covered container for up to 2 weeks.

VT's note: These spicy little morsels are so easy to assemble that making them is almost as much fun as eating them! Mix them up, freeze and they're ready when you are. Posted by Lisa Greenwood
