Ranch Snowman Cheeseball

Ranch Snowman Cheeseball: Tangy cream cheese and zesty ranch come together in this super simple appetizer.  Guaranteed to be the cutest item on the holiday buffet!

If my family is throwing a holiday party there are 2 things that you can count on.

1. There is going to be a lot of laughter: We’re total goofballs!
2. There will be a ton of food: To us appetizers and desserts=12 different kinds of cheese, 17 cookies, and 5 pasta salads. Opps 😉

One of our favorite holiday appetizers is a cheeseball. So creamy and perfect for spreading on crackers or dipping pretzels into!

This ranch snowman cheeseball tastes delicious, but is SO super simple to prepare.  You can make it ahead and have more time to enjoy the company of family/friends.

Bonus: It’s cute enough to double as a centerpiece!
