I can't believe that Christmas is over! We made it through, but the holiday season isn't finished yet; New Year's is coming, and I wanted to make some delicious treats to help my family and friends celebrate the changing of the year with us. I tried out these Savory Mini Cheese Balls from Kraft, and they will be the perfect accompaniment to my party spread. 

You know that Kraft makes some of your favorite foods, but did you know they also craft recipes to help you create delicious dishes throughout the year?

• 1-1/2 pkg. (8 oz. each) of PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
• 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tsp. poppy seeds
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 cup finely chopped dried cranberries
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped PLANTERS Pecans

Directions:

1. Cut the cream cheese into 6 pieces. You will have 1/2 of a block left over.
2. Roll each piece into a ball.
3. Combine sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and half the garlic in small bowl. Mix well to incorporate garlic evenly.
4. Combine the herbs and remaining garlic in another small bowl. Mix well to incorporate garlic evenly.
5. Combine the chopped cranberries and pecans in third bowl.
6. Roll 2 cheese balls in each mixture, trying to keep your fingers as clean as possible. I keep a damp cloth nearby to wipe fingers. This will keep your balls looking neat and keep your cheese on the inside!

Everyone loves the creaminess of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and the flavor mixtures are to die for! The smaller size of these cheese balls will make sure that everyone gets a bite packed with savory taste.
