These cheese balls are so delicious that you can eat them on their own, so it’s no surprise that you can eat them with a spoon. But if you’re patient, there are some really great options for dips that will level up this appetizer for you and your guests.
Crackers are the classic ladle. The salty, buttery flavor complements the creamy cheese and nutty pecans. If scooping directly from the cheese ball, be careful not to make it too thin as the thin ladle may break. Pretzel or bagel chips are also ideal options, and tortilla chips work well too.
If you prefer something lighter, feel free to choose delicious common options like carrots, celery, or even raw broccoli. If you love sweet and savory combinations, you may be surprised to find that sliced apples and pears also taste great with these cheese balls. The versatile flavors of this appetizer offer a wide range of accompaniment options to satisfy every palate and dietary preference.
