No Bake M&M Cheese Ball Dessert
Dessert cheese balls are party food staples in our home. We love making this no-bake cheesecake like dip to serve our guests at family gatherings, birthday parties and holiday parties. Cheese balls are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. One of my favorites is this Toffee Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball. I recently started experimenting with different toppings, like miniature M&M’s candies. The dip is filled with cream cheese, chocolate chips and M&M’s then shaped into a ball and coated with more M&M candies. We like to serve our cheese ball desserts with pretzels for a sweet and salty combo. Nilla wafers, graham crackers and small cookies also pair really well with cheese balls.
