I think it would be that you could make one up, as usual, then divide it between the cups to refrigerate. However, I think that if you wanted to make all 12 of them, you'd probably need more than one cheese ball.
All in all, though, what a neat idea! Imagine, individual servings, all done up at once! And so cute, too!! Maybe you could put one on a SA appetizer plate, surrounded by crackers... and just think, there's 12 of them, too! lol
What a neat cross-selling idea!!
If anyone does make this, please let us know how it works!!

I make my cheeseballs with a package of Merkt cheese and a pkg of cream cheese. It doesn't get very liquid, but it's soft enough to press into the mold. I have done this with butter with great success, same consistency. Stick the cupcake pan in the freezer for a while and pop the cheese out while it's still frozen. It will hold its shape when it thaws.
