Story

All cheese balls are not created equal. If you're used to a certain kind of cheese spread formed into a ball and served with crackers, you might want to break away from it and try this unique combination. The grated carrots are very colorful and add a nice sweet, fresh taste to this appetizer. It's good either with or without the chopped peanut coating, but I like the extra salt and crunch.
