All three of my boys are allergic to ALL nuts! (except me;). I use Soy Bean Butter. It looks just like peanut butter and has about the same consistency. I don't really care for it, but they eat it everyday, yes eveyday, for lunch. I buy it at Trader Joes (no help to some, sorry), but I thought at least it was another food to look for. HTH.
 
I'm making pfefferneuse for my cookie exchange.

Chex mix is a perennial favorite.

So is chocolate orange fudge with cranberries. (I use Rachael Ray's 5-minute fudge recipe.)

I'll be making more mini fruitcake bites soon. None of us like fruitcake, but these little mini muffins are FABULOUS! I'm not at home right now, so I don't have the recipe handy. If anyone wants it, let me know.

This time of year I also add a teaspoon of pure orange extract to my chocolate chip cookies. The taste of chocolate and orange together just screams CHRISTMAS to me.

I wonder if Muddie Buddies would be good with Nutella instead of Peanut Butter. Has anyone here ever tried Nutella? It is sin in a jar.

I haven't made the recipe with Nutella, but I just wanted to chime in that I love it too! My husband can tell when I'm pregnant, because it's what I crave. Nutella on toast, yummmmm......... :)

The Chocolate Hazelnut Cake that was in the last SB is my new fave. I just got the fluted stone for it too!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for the Delicious Sausage Ball Recipe?

To make the Delicious Sausage Ball Recipe, you will need the following ingredients: 1 pound of sausage (either pork or turkey), 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 cups of baking mix (like Bisquick), and 1/2 cup of milk. You can also add spices like garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.

How do I prepare the sausage balls for baking?

To prepare the sausage balls, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, shredded cheese, baking mix, and milk. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Then, use your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

How long should I bake the sausage balls?

Bake the sausage balls in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by cutting one in half to ensure there is no pink in the center.

Can I make the sausage balls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the sausage balls ahead of time! You can either shape them and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking, or you can freeze them. If freezing, place the uncooked sausage balls on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, you can cook them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What are some variations I can try with this sausage ball recipe?

There are many delicious variations you can try! You can substitute the cheddar cheese with other types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick, or add cooked and crumbled bacon for extra flavor. You can also incorporate herbs like parsley or chives, or even mix in some diced jalapeños for a spicy twist. Get creative and adjust the recipe to your taste!
