Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups sharp shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
Pretzel sticks or assorted crackers

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Shape tablespoons of cheese mixture into balls. Roll in walnuts and parsley. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving. Serve with pretzel sticks or crackers.

Test Kitchen tips

If the cream cheese mixture is too soft to shape into balls right after mixing, cover and chill for 30 minutes before shaping.

Serve the individual cheese balls alone, with pretzel sticks or with decorative picks.
