Grandpa Kline's Poppycock {Not Your Average Caramel Corn}

Need a quick, easy appetizer? This cheese ball is a staple around here. You can even make it ahead, freeze and thaw when ready to serve. It always disappears! 

Ranch Cheese Ball

Ingredients

• 16 oz cream cheese
• 4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
• Chopped Pecans or shredded cheese

Directions:

1. Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and ranch
2. Shape into a ball or loaf*
3. Roll in chopped pecans or shredded cheese 

*I recently made this (for the 15th or 20th time) and remembered this...when combining ingredients, as the cheese softens, it can be hard to roll into a "perfect" shape. Refrigerate 30 minutes - an hour, shape and roll in nuts or cheese.
