Keto Mini Retro Cheese Balls

5 ratings

If you have a Baby Boomer parent (or you may be one yourself), you’ve likely come across many old-fashioned cheese balls at holiday parties! Instead of a large appetizer, these retro cheese balls are miniature to enjoy as a snack. Eat them as is, like a fat bomb, or spread onto your favorite snack. For dipping, Carb Manager Bacon Chips taste best with these!

Manzanilla Olives Stuffed With Minced Pimento by Great Value

1-¼ ounce
Chives

Slivered Almonds by Fisher

½ cup

Step 1

In a bowl, soften the cream cheese with the back of a spoon or a fork. Roughly chop the olives, and combine them with the chives in the cream cheese.
Step 2

Use your hands to form 10, 1-inch balls.
Step 3

Pour the almond slivers into a bowl or onto a plate. Crush the slivers into small pieces. Roll each cheese ball into the almonds so they are fully coated.
Step 4

Chill the cheese balls before serving.

This would be good on celery and maybe leave the almonds off until you stuffed the celery and then put them on top

What would you eat these with? Or is the idea just to eat them straight?

  Hi there, You can omit the olive completely if you don't like them. Although there's no direct replacement for olives, you can try adding diced bell pepper. This will give a little crunch and texture. Hope this helps!

It says serving size is 1x2 does that mean one serving is two cheese balls?
