Mini-Cheese Balls - Weight Watchers image

For a colorful and tasty presentation, roll these cheese balls in paprika or black pepper. Or roll them in 1/2 cup chopped almonds. Each serving is 1 mini-cheese ball with 1 bagel chip. Make this recipe up to 2 days ahead. This recipe has a 1 point value per serving. I found this recipe in a Weight Watchers magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.
