Recipe: Pineapple Nut Cheese Ball with Planters Holiday Mix! #GoNutsForNuts

They also have this cool app called Blippar that you can scan certain products and then this little menu comes up on your phone. The Planters products bring up this app where you can look at their holiday products and take a selfie with Mr Peanut. 

Now for putting together my cheese ball! First I pulled out my nut chopper and went to town. It’s a great way to get out some stress! Then I mixed together my creation of cream cheese, crushed pineapple, pepperoni (yeah – zingy) and Planters Winter Spiced Mix. I took the cream cheese out so it was easier to mix it all together. I formed it into a ball and used plastic wrap to shape it a bit. Then into the fridge to chill for a bit. After it stiffened up a bit – I rolled it in more chopped nuts and we were good to go!

I had to dive in and try it – I saved back a little cream cheese mix so I could “put it back together” before the potluck. It’s really great – the sweetness of the pineapple pairs great with the zing of the pepperoni and then the honey roasted nuts are sweet and savory – so good!

This was a big hit at the potluck and was very different than the normal meatballs and layered dips. Food Hussy for the Win!
