Scott's Cheese Ball with pecans and m&m's
Ever since we lost Scott, the joy of Christmas has been infused with sadness because it was his favorite holiday. We miss Scott every day but our hearts are heavier during this season of hope, redemption, and love.
Scott's famous cheese ball recipe has become a part of Brechtl Christmas Party tradition. It's a special treat that his mom brings, and everyone looks forward to indulging in. Although it's been harder to get our growing family together each year, Scott's cheese ball has not been forgotten.
Scott has always rolled his cheese ball into mini chocolate chips, but I tried to dress it up, adding green and red m&m's in his memory. As you can see, I wasn't very creative. I'm sure you can come up with better designs.
