Today I want to share with you a recipe that my little man personally requested that I make. Cheese ball! We found this really easy cheese ball recipe while browsing the internet and wanted to try it.
Easy Cheese Ball recipe
Funny story, I had no idea what cheese balls were until the other day when my 6 years old son asked me to make some for him. I assumed he meant cheese puffs or as he would call them, the “orange chips.”
After he had glared at me for not knowing what cheese balls were, he asked that I “Google” it so that I know how to make it. Yes, folks, my 6 years old son told me to “Google it”!
Not sure why I’m surprised. Whenever I answer one of his random questions with “I don’t know,” he tells me to “look it up!” Kids…right?!
Ok! Back to our recipe.
We found a video on YouTube that showed us how to make these famous “cheese balls.” It was the first video that came up on the search engine for us. When I’m making something for the first time, I like to watch a video on how to or look for recipes that have a LOT of pictures.
Lucky for me, this cheese balls recipe was easy to make, AND I had all the ingredients. First I will link the video (HERE) to where I got this recipe from and then I will share with you what I did differently.
Ingredients
- Your choice of cheeses
- cream cheese
- Crescent Rolls (or pizza dough)
- salt and pepper for taste
- Olive oil
- Chopped Fresh Herbs
- minced garlic
What we did:
We use 3 kinds of shredded cheeses for our cheese balls. We had a block of cheese in the fridge with no label, and I mistook it for mozzarella, but it was Swiss cheese (bot a big fan of Swiss cheese). We added mozzarella and marble cheese. The cream cheese was use for holding the other cheeses together. We also ended up using a cake pop mold (that goes in the oven) since we don’t have a cake pop maker (yet).
Since the little man was helping me cook, I skipped the minced garlic and used Italian seasoning instead of fresh herbs (we didn’t have any). I won’t go into many details since I’ve already linked the video on how to make this yummy goodness!
The result? De-LICIOUS!
I was really happy with how good these turned out. Even happier that the little man loved them.Will be stocking up on crescent rolls so that I can wipe some up again soon.
The best part was having the little guy helping me out! I think he enjoyed the fact that it was his idea and that it came out well. Hope you enjoyed this easy cheese ball recipe!

I love to cook with my little ones. And yes you are right.. they are learning at such a fast pace. My teenager told me to Google something the other day. But she was just trying to get out of answering a test question.
They are a lot more advanced then we were at their age that’s for sure! Thank you Sherryl for stopping by! =)
Wow! These look easy enough that I think I may be able to do them 😛 Aren’t kids these days wayyyyy too smart? My son has told me to google stuff before 😛 too cute 🙂

My daughter is always telling me to Google stuff! These look delicious 🙂
Hahaha, ya mom, Google it!! LOL. I love when stuff like that comes out of their mouths and you’re completely taken aback. I have never heard of a cheese ball, either, so don’t feel bad.

Sounds delicious. I’m going to have to try these for myself. And I love that your son told you to “Google” it. The world we live in, right?
I’m not clear on how you incorporated the crescent rolls. This sounds absolutely delicious! I’m going to have to make this during a holiday when I go off my intermittent fasting… The BabyCakes electric griddle is what I use and it’s awesome! I recommend. Your little man looks irresistible! =)
Hey Meredith, the crescent rolls is what is use to wrap the cheeses in, roll them into balls and bake them to perfection! I posted a link that has a video on how it is done! Let me know if you ever get to try these =)
These look really yummy! I think hubs would like them most as he is a huge cheese ball fan

These sound and look amazing! I will have to try. and LOL to your 6 year old….Google it Mom 🙂
I used to make an appetizer called “Cheese Ball” that was basically a number of cheeses all mixed together and rolled into a ball that would then be coated with chopped nuts or herbs, and then spread on crackers. This version sounds really good!
These cheese balls look so delicious, I need to make them because I’m craving them right now.
These sound so good. I love his “googe it”. I swear these kids. Mines answer to everything is to youtube it. I have to give it to the kids, they are usually right.
I think we are going to have to try this for snack next week.
These look really good! It’s too funny that he asked you to google it!
Aww, your little man has good taste. That’s funny that he told you to “google it.” lol Kids these days … the recipe looks like a good one, easy to follow, easy ingredients to find. Thanks for sharing this with us! Take care!
I love the line “Google it” by your little one. How funny! These actually look yummy and I am always thinking ahead of things I can make during football season for the football crowd. These would be great.
Wow! Super impressed that a 6 year old knew about these. They look fabulous!
That is amazing that he knew to Google it. Smart little guy.
It looks like your little man had a blast making these! They look delish! I’m bookmarking this to try later.
You’r little man sure has good tastes. Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea what cheese balls were until I read this. I never would have guessed they were made like this. The only cheese balls I’ve ever heard of are the puffed snack balls by that name.
I love cheese balls lol. We google everything, so the kids know to do that whenever they have a problem.
Looks super easy to make. Your son is so adorable. I look forward to moments like this one.
Your little boy is as cute as you and very smart.
I like the recipe too
Aww lol Thank you very much Dov and let me know if you ever get to try the recipe! =)
What an amazing recipe and fun time in the kitchen with your little man! LOl. I can’t believe he told you to Google it.
Yep! If it’s not “Google it” its “Look it up on YouTube” LOL
My boys and I would love this, it does not look too difficult which is great. Of course anything with cheese is always a hit in my house.
Cooking with the kids is one of my favorite activities! Its exciting now that they are old enough to suggest recipes on their own. Looks like you have a little chef on your hands!
These look delicious. My son loves cheddar biscuits so I like the idea of being able to make these at home for him.
How cute that he told you to Google it! Those look delicious, and I love that they’re easy to make. Cheese is one of my favorite foods.
Those definitely look delicious and I’ll be trying them. Dipped in marinara, they’d be divine.
Yummy!! I want some cheeseballs! These look delish! 🙂 SO when am I going to be invited over to make cheese balls with you and the lil man? 🙂 Looks super fun!
Hehe Whenever you come up to Montreal let me know and we can all have make cheese balls together 🙂
What a cute little helper you have there! I bet these are really good.
You can learn anything on youtube! Love it and the pics are adorable!
I’ve never heard of them either, but LOL that your son is the one who turned you on to the recipe with a Google request. 🙂
We’d try this, I bet the kids would love them too.
I think my family would love these!! Perfect! I love that you son told you to Google it! That is so right for the next and current generations!
Now those truly looks so yummy and cheezy – perfect for snack time!
Anything with cheese is absolutely delightful for me. This looks yum!
Sounds like an easy-peasy recipe. Also, yummy.
