Chick Cheese Ball and November Birthdays!

This sweet little granddaughter turned 2 on the 5th!  Her parents had a petting zoo for the party theme.


Feeding bunnies and other animals was lots of fun for the kids!


There were chickens, bunnies, sheep, goats, ducks, and pigs!


Inside, there was the buffet "Pig Out" table that her mama decorated, and it had a snack mix, fruit salad, mac 'n cheese, pulled pork and sausage that her daddy smoked, and a chick cheese ball.


All the mini bundt cakes were corralled on the kitchen table.

Chick Cheese Ball

This a cute cheese ball to serve at a farm-themed party!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Use your favorite cheese ball recipe
  • About 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese for rolling to make the feathers
  • 2 raisins for the eyes
  • 1 almond for the beak
  • 2 pieces of carrot, cut flat and notched to make the feet

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Make your cheese ball recipe. Take about a 2" piece and shape into a ball for the head of the chicken. Take the rest of the cheese ball mixture and form into an egg shape. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours or overnight.
  2. Roll the head and the body into the shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Place the body onto a platter and slightly flatten to form the chick's body. Attach the head to the top and front of the body. Add the raisins for the eyes and the almond for the beak. Slide the flat pieces of notched carrot under the body for the feet of the chick.
  4. Serve with your favorite crackers!
