Beer Balls Annettes Recipes

Steps:

• Orange Beer Burst:
• Add 1 ounce of orange liqueur to 7 ounces of beer.
• Beer Buzz:
• Add 1 ounce of coffee liqueur to 7 ounces of beer.
• Red Eye:
• Add 1 ounce tomato juice, dash hot sauce, juice of 1 lemon, and juice of 1 lime to 7 ounces of beer.

Steps:

• Reserve one cup of cheese.
• In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients (I use a hand mixer to make sure it's combined well).
• Push mixture together in the center of the bowl, making a ball shape, cover bowl, and refrigerate 2 hours or longer.
• Place a large strip of plastic wrap on the counter top.
• Sprinkle remaining cup of cheese over the center of the plastic wrap.
• Place cream cheese mixture in the center of the shredded cheese, and use plastic wrap to mold into a ball.
• Roll the ball to completely cover in shredded cheese.
• (I often use more than one cup of cheese to completely cover the cheese ball).
• Wrap the formed cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate one hour or until serving.
• Serve with hearty crackers such as Wheat Thins or Triscuits.

Steps:

• Blend together the sugar, peanut butter and melted margarine. Add evaporated milk as necessary - up to 1/4 cup.
• Roll into small balls. Using a cookie scoop helps ensure the size being uniform. Chill for easier dipping later.
• While candy is chilling, first melt paraffin wax in double boiler. Once melted, add the chocolate chips. Stir till well blended.
• Dip candy into chocolate. A toothpick works best. Place on wax paper to set. If you refrigerate the candy at this stage it helps to set the chocolate firm and makes removing from the wax paper much easier and with less fingerprints on the candy!

Steps:

• Roll meat into size of walnut. Brown well and drain fat on paper towel. Combine all ingredients into large saucepan. Add balls and simmer for two hours covered. If more juice is desired after one hour, add additional beer.
