It's hard to go wrong with cheese as an appetizer at a party. And bite-sized is even better. What better way to serve up some bite-sized cheese snacks than to make some tangy balls? The combination of cream cheese and cheddar, mixed with roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes or green onions is a great blend. And the pecan crust adds the perfect amount of crunch. These balls are flavorful, tender, and a testament to the talent of their creator, Mr. Pete Schweddy. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com shows you a variation on Pete Schweddy's recipe for Cheese Balls, otherwise known as Schweddy Balls.

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

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.
