Notes
*Canadian bacon can be substituted with regular uncured bacon.
Depending on how large you make these balls, they make roughly 16-18 mini cheese balls. I like to serve them with toothpicks on the side to make them easier to serve and make them safer. This way no one's hands are accidentally touching any of the other cheese balls.
