EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The marinade ingredients can be mixed in a 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag instead of a bowl. Add stuffed cheese balls to the marinade mixture.

For extra convenience, look for jars of chopped garlic in the produce department.

Make sure to purchase the smallest baby carrots you can find. Mine were too large so the cheese ball fell apart and none of the carrots would stay inside when I had to stir the recipe. The flavor on these are good but they would have turned out better with super mini carrots which aren't always easy to find. I may not make it again just for that reason.
