Snowman Cheeseball

December 15, 2008 By Connie | 2 Comments

 OK, so it isn’t paper arts, but I had to show you the Snowman Cheeseball I made for my husband’s holiday party on Friday.  I thought he turned out SO cute!  If you know me, you know I LOVE snowman…my house is decorated all over with them during the holidays (and after until Spring!)

It makes a HUGE amount, though.  If I made it again, I’d cut the recipe in half for a group of 20 of less…especially if you are having other appetizers with it.

It is two different flavors…the head is an onion/dijon mustard flavor and the body is a pesto flavor.  Both were yummy.  The pesto one is a little milder.  The scarf I made from a Strawberry Fruit Roll-up…just cut it into strips.  The nose is an actual small carrot cut into a pointed shape.  The eyes and buttons were made from sliced ripe olives.  After you make the cheeseballs, you add a layer of whipped cream cheese over the top so it makes him snowy white…then add the embellishments.  It wasn’t hard at all.

I adapted the recipe a little bit, so I’ve included my changes.  I think it made it easier to make and didn’t change the outcome that I could tell.

Tip:  When you serve it, take the first bite…otherwise people think it is too pretty to cut into and eat!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
