This cheese ball is incredibly simple to make, is of course super delicious and so fun for parties, game day, potlucks or if you’re just having some friends over to hang out. This post has been sponsored by Sprouts. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep Kroll’s Korner running! Of course, you don’t have to shape it into a football if you aren’t planning on serving the cheese ball for a game day event. You can simply shape it into a traditional circular ball and let everyone dig in! Need some other recipes that are perfect for game-day-eats? How about my Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip, Sheet Pan Nachos, or Cornflake Chicken Tenders? I love shopping there not only because it’s a one-stop shop for all of my items but because the staff is always so helpful and kind. I always have such pleasant conversations with the staff in the checkout lines and they always ensure I found everything I was looking for! Sprouts always stocks my routine favorite products but they also stock the latest trending products as well too so there’s always something new and fun to try. For this snack board I made sure to load up on plenty of fresh crunchy vegetables and snagged some delicious grapes too. For fun finger foods, I found some yummy mozzarella sticks and everything bagel hot dog bites in the freezer section! What’s fun about a snack board like this is that there are no rules. Add your favorite crackers, dips and snacks and simply arrange it all on one board!
Cream Cheese: needs to be softened Bacon: we like a good-quality, thick cut bacon Jalapeños: use as many as you like, depending on how spicy you want your cheese ball Sharp cheddar cheese: try to avoid the pre-shredded stuff for the recipe if you can. Freshly shredded cheese is always better in our opinion. Breadcrumbs: Italian breadcrumbs work for a little more flavor added. Mozzarella string cheese (to make the laces for the football)
