Maybe it’s because I am Southern or maybe it's because I just love cheese..but for every major holiday I love making a holiday inspired cheeseball. I have made a Reindeer shaped cheeseball for Christmas, a football shaped cheeseball for the Superbowl so why not a carrot shaped cheeseball for Easter. I am having an outdoor dinner for Easter tomorrow and wanted to have an appetizer for my guests and this cheeseball is perfect! Cheeseballs are so easy to make and so delicious especially if you love cheese as much as I do! If you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer to serve this Easter Sunday, look no further.
Happy Easter from Spilling the Sweet Tea!
