Creamed cheese balls are a fast and easy appetizer. They are great served up over the holiday or at parties. They also make a really nice weekend snack.
You can use just about any cream just with this recipe. Philadelphia creamed cheese is the most popular and seems to work the best. It comes in several flavors, but I prefer the original. The garlic is optional. It does add a nice accent to the cheese ball, however. The tabasco sauce adds a nice kick. I use walnuts as they compliment the filling nicely. I suppose, pecans or other crushed nuts could be used, as well. I like to serve my cheese ball up with Ritz cracker. You can use your favorite crackers if you wish.

- Place the creamed cheese in a mixing bowl. Add in the tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Break it up and mix it a little with a spoon. Using your hands (it is best to use gloves) mix and work together until everything is well combined.
- Scoop the mixture up with your hands and form it into a ball.
- Roll it in the mixed nuts until they fully coat the cheese.
- Place it in the fridge for 2 hours to set.
- Serve your cream cheese ball up on a plate with crackers on the side.
