Pomegranate Macadamia Cheese Ball Recipe

Recipe By Taste Of Home

Cheese balls are a dime a dozen during the holidays, but this one earns points for being posh. It's creamy, sweet, spicy and studded with pecans and pomegranate seeds. We scoop it up with pita chips, but it can also be served with chutney, jam or high-quality crackers. Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada.
