NO-BAKE MONSTER CHEERIOS™ BALLS

Steps:

• In large microwavable bowl, microwave butter and marshmallows uncovered on High about 2 minutes, stirring after each minute, until mixture is smooth. Remove from microwave.
• Immediately stir in cereal until evenly coated. Let stand about 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, pour sanding sugars or sprinkles into small bowls.
• Lightly spray hands with cooking spray (to prevent sticking). Using about 1/4 cupful cereal mixture for each, firmly press into 18 (about 2-inch) balls; roll each ball in sanding sugars or sprinkles. Place balls on waxed paper.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, butter, salt, pepper, cayenne, roasted red peppers, corn, and blue cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly and thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
• Use a sorbet scoop or spoon to form tablespoon-sized balls of cheese mixture; place on a lined sheet pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. A perfect shape doesn't matter at this point since these will be rolled in the coatings to complete the process.
• Transfer chilled cheese balls into the coatings of your choice, such as almonds, chives, and bacon, and roll around to cover. Once coated, roll each briefly in your hands to achieve the final ball shape. Transfer to a plate or pan and keep chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
