I hope these fun Thanksgiving cheese balls give you inspiration for your own holiday gathering.
One is cuter than the next! That first pumpkin cheese ball is a stunner!
Love the turkey cheese balls best! We’re more of a simple cheese slices and crackers family, but may have to try the little turkey. Thanks for the fun!
They all look oh so yummy but too cute and/or beautiful to eat. LOL
These all look cute and yummy. Pinned a few. Have a good Thanksgiving.
Thanks Brenda! I frequently make cheeseballs for family gatherings and I always like to see new recipes:)
Looking very holidy-ish AND yummy!! 😋
I really haven’t ever put together a cheeseball. Although have made many other delicious appetizers.
Everyone always loved my salmon mold.
I served with mini bagels & the usual crackers. 🥯
Stuffed zucchini boats were also popular.
There was cheese in them.
My favorite is sweet & sour meatballs!
Easy to fix.
Can be served at room temperature w/optional sauce.
Not a good idea to put out a lot though.
Great thing re meatballs, make way ahead of time.
When the kiddos were very young, we would grill regular beef hot dogs 🌭 (Oscar Mayer) for a fun appetizer!!
Everyone loved.
An early start to any holiday meal.
Also, I always had pretty containers & bowls of fresh popcorn!!🍿
A huge hit for sure!
😄 No one ever went home hungry.
Good Thanksgiving to all.
Wow! People are so creative, it never ceases to amaze me what can be done. I don’t make cheeseballs and neither does anybody in my family – we go for the simple stuff like sliced cheeses and cheese spread from the deli section at the supermarket, LOL. The pumpkin shapes are clever – I’ve never seen anything like them before, but the turkey cheeseballs are works of art! If I were the creative type I’d try my hand at making the mini-pumpkin cheeseballs for individual bites.
