We only had 5 of our 8 scouts today and that was plenty for the activity we were doing. First, each girl made their own cheese ball. This required 8 oz of sharp white cheddar, and 16 oz of cream cheese plus some spices. Even with 4 bowls for the mixer, it was taking forever!
Scout finally went upstairs and pulled her mixer out of storage. That helped, and soon all of the girls had their cheese balls in the fridge. Not everyone wanted nuts, but that was the next steps. I quickly put the halved nuts in the food processor and the girls spread them on the gold chargers I bought yesterday at the dollar store.
They pulled their wrapped cheese balls out of the fridge and rolled them about in their chopped nuts. Then they used pretzels, sweet bell peppers, and more nuts to transform their ball into a turkey. I have a few pics I want to share with you.
I was surprised how good the cheese ball was with sweet peppers!
Girl Scouts is such a great program. We get to pick our activities and teach the girls new skills.
So much fun! And yummy too.
