Making Mini Melting Snowman Cheese Balls is simple, and following these steps will ensure your success:

1. Mix the Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.

2. Add Herbs: Fold in the chopped fresh herbs to add flavor and a pop of color to your cheese mixture.

3. Shape Cheese Balls: Using your hands, scoop out a portion of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped into balls.

4. Chill the Cheese Balls: Place the cheese balls on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

5. Decorate: Once chilled, take a cheese ball and insert a mini pretzel stick into the top for the snowman’s hat. Then, use a toothpick to attach sliced olives for eyes and a carrot stick for the nose.

6. Create the Melting Effect: To give the appearance of melting snow, place a few mini marshmallows around the base of each snowman cheese ball.

7. Serve: Arrange the finished snowman cheese balls on a festive platter, and they are ready to be enjoyed!
