Cheese balls are my favorite for sports parties and small get togethers where I serve finger foods.

I also like to make my toffee dip for parties. These 2 are great together for finger foods.

use an ice cream scoop to a cheese ball

Mix everything up really well and then use an ice cream scoop to form on the plate.

Hint: you can use more of the onion soup mix for a stronger tase. My kids like it with the whole packet, but I prefer it with half. Let the dip sit for about 30 minutes to soften the onions.
