Candied Jalapeno Cheese Ball #FantasticalFoodFight

Four different types of cheese blended with candied jalapenos and coated with crispy panko bread crumbs.

Perfect to serve up for #NationalCheeseballDay.......

When Sarah of Fantastical Sharing of Recipes first announced that we were celebrating National Cheeseball Day for our Fantastical Food Fight, I thought they were celebrating our son in law, Doug!! Our daughter Amy, refers to him as a cheeseball all the time LOL......

And while that would have been a fun post to write it is hard to cook a relationship unless you are doing a roast.....haha.....I'm killing myself today.  I know, I know.....many of you are going to think I'm half-baked.....HAH....Okay, I'm done.  I promise.

Actually, this post wouldn't be possible without one of our other children, our son Tony, founder of Tony's Sweet Eats.   I used his Candied Jalapeno's in this recipe that I have served up twice now when hosting gatherings at our home.

It couldn't be simpler to make.  Just toss all the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until combined.  Place it on plastic wrap, wrap it and shape it into a ball.  Refrigerate for at least an hour and then unwrap and roll in panko bread crumbs to add some texture.

The sweetness of the candied jalapeno combined with the creamy richness of the cheese and the crunch of the bread crumbs is a perfect flavor profile.

I also served the candied jalapenos on the side for those who like a little extra heat with their cheeseball.
