From Kraft. I love the idea of bite-sized cheese balls. Serve on tray with a variety of crackers surrounding. I formed some of these around green olives for a nice surprise! Cook time is chill time.

This is a great make-ahead recipe that gets better the longer you let it refrigerate. It also makes lots so it is good for a large party. I like to vary the types of dried fruit - substituting craisins for raisins, dried pineapple for apple, etc.
