Freezer Cheese Balls

This recipe come from my mother-in-law. It makes enough for three cheese balls so every year she makes the cheese balls up before Thanksgiving. You keep one out to serve at Thanksgiving, then put the other two in the freezer for Christmas and New Years--a fun idea! I made the cheese balls last year so I have tried it myself with good results. Just in case you don't know, these are the kind of cheese balls that you put on a tray with bunch of crackers for an appetizer or hors 'deoeuvre.

1/2 lb shredded sharp cheddar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 lb blue cheese
1/4 lb butter, softened
1 clove garlic, minced or mashed
1/2 c coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

Let everything sit at room temp for a few hours. Beat in mixer until creamy. Chill in fridge one hour. Shape into balls. Roll in nuts. Wrap in plastic wrap (a couple of layers) and freeze.
