These Holiday Cheeseball Bites are the perfect appetizer for any of your holiday parties. They are sure to please even the pickiest cheeseball lovers.
I love our grandma’s cheeseball during the holidays, but I don’t like that I can’t have some of the delicious peanuts or bacon bits in every bite.
Once I found out there was a way to have everything I loved in my holiday cheeseball, I knew I had to give these a try.
What could I use in place of walnuts in this Holiday Cheeseball Bites recipe?
If you are not much of a walnut fan, don’t worry. You could easily substitute the walnuts out for something else.
I personally prefer using almonds or pecans, when rolling my cheeseballs, but you could also roll it in shredded and shopped cheese, such as parmesan, mozzarella, or cheddar.
I also like rolling mine in just bacon, and nothing else.
They are also very delicious plain, without being rolled in anything extra.

What could I dip in these Holiday Cheeseball Bites?
The most critical part of this recipe, is deciding what types of food to dip in it. I personally wouldn’t mind going in with a spoon, but it may taste better with a little something crunchy.
For this picture, we used a small pretzel, but you could easily switch it up, and add your favorite dipping cracker, or bread to it.
I have a lot of recommendations, but here are a few of my favorite things to dip into this simple and delicious 4 Ingredient Cheeseball:
-Wheat Thins
-Pigs In a Blanket Crackers
-Saltines
-Pita Bread
-Ritz Crackers
-Fresh Baked Bread
-Club Crackers
-Bruschetta
