Select larger nuts to use on your cheese ball.
A cheese ball is typically a combination of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, butter and seasonings. Cheese balls are served as appetizers, functioning as a solid sphere of cracker dip. The garnishing on your cheese ball will dress it up visually and make it taste more appealing. You only need a few ingredients to garnish a cheese ball and accentuate its flavors. Garnishing your cheese ball should take less than 10 minutes to make it ready to serve.
Instructions
1. Place the cheese ball onto the plate you intend to serve it on. Center the cheese ball on the plate for presentation and practicality.
2. Sprinkle the surface of the cheese ball with chili powder or sugar, depending on your desired outcome. Use the back of a spoon to press the chili powder or sugar into the cheese ball's surface to ensure it sticks.
3. Stick chopped nuts onto the surface of the cheese ball until you have covered the sides. Leave the top of the cheese ball uncovered by nuts.
4. Poke whole nuts into the top of the cheese ball. For variety, try using a different type of nut than what you covered the sides of the cheese ball with.
5. Lay a circle of crackers around the cheese ball on the plate. Use different types of crackers to provide variety in both taste and visual presentation.
