MINI CHEESE BALLS
This is a great make-ahead recipe that gets better the longer you let it refrigerate. It also makes lots so it is good for a large party. I like to vary the types of dried fruit - substituting craisins for raisins, dried pineapple for apple, etc.

MASCARPONE BOUCHEES (MINI CHEESE BALLS)
Delightful bite-size cheese balls. This is just a basic cheese ball--you can add whatever you like to the recipe to spice it up to make it not so ordinary. Just omit the chives and add 1/4 cup of whatever you like. I like to put in green olives sometimes and sometimes a mix of bacon and cheddar--it just depends on what you're in the mood for. Hope you enjoy.
