- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 ⅔ cups chopped pecans
Directions:

Serve them with your favorite crackers for a great party treat, and be prepared to make a lot because there’s no resisting these Schweddy Balls.
2. Divide that mixture in half. To one portion add the roasted peppers, and to the other add the green onions. Mix them each until everything is combined.
3. Refrigerate your cheese mixtures for several hours, or until they’re chilled.
4. Once the mixtures have set, shape them into 1-inch balls.

TIP: If you want to switch it up, try coating the balls with sesame seeds, chopped fresh parsley, paprika, or shredded cheese.
