 Helpful hints:  Freeze cheese balls at least a few
 hours before baking. Freezing allows cheese to harden
 so balls hold their shape in the oven. Unbaked cheese
 balls may be kept in the freezer in a tightly covered
 container for up to 2 weeks.

 VT's note:  These spicy little morsels are so easy to
 assemble that making them is almost as much fun as
 eating them!  Mix them up, freeze and they're ready
 when you are. Posted by Lisa Greenwood
