Hidden Valley Ranch™ Cheese Ball Every person that has tried this loved it! It is great for parties and especially for the holidays. You can freeze this recipe up to a month. 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch™ (HVR) dressing mix (milk recipe) 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup mayonnaise 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 6 ounces cheddar cheese, grated fine 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts Mix together HVR dressing mix with mayonnaise and milk. Blend in cream cheese. Next, gradually mix in cheddar cheese. Place mixture in freezer for around 45 minutes. You want the mixture to thicken, not freeze. If you don't let it thicken, you'll end up with cheese "discs". This, I know, comes from experience. Form mixture into either one big ball or 2 smaller ones. Roll the ball(s) in nuts and refrigerate. http://www.southernangel.com/food/tgivrcp.html#hvr
