Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup finely diced Granny Smith apples (pat dry with paper towel after cutting)
  • 1/2 cup caramel bits
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar ((more if you wish))
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • About a cup of fall M&Ms for rolling the cheese ball

Instruction

  • Make sure to peel and core the apple before dicing. Dice apples and pat them with paper towel to absorb some excess juice.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, yogurt, apples, caramels, sugar and vanilla. Mix until all evenly combined.
  • Form a cheese ball with your hands (remember to always wash your hands.)
  • Wrap the cheese ball in saran wrap and refrigerate it for at least an hour. (An easy way to wrap a cheese ball is to lace saran wrap into a round bowl, place cheese ball on the saran wrap in the bowl, and bring sides of saran wrap together. This will help form a ball as well.)
  • Spread M&M candy in a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Roll the cheese ball in the M&M candy before serving. (The longer you will let the cheese ball sit with candy on it, the more colors will bleed. That's why I recommend that you roll it in candy right before serving.)
  • Serve with apples, pretzels or any cracker crisps that are lightly or non-salted.
