Fried goat cheese balls with honey are this holiday season's appetizer of choice! A delightful combination of sweet, creamy and crunchy, they're sure to be a party favorite!

Guys, it’s 24 days before Christmas! Are we excited? Of course, we are! Gifts, parties, family, food, fun…it’s the grandest time of the year! But as much as this season brings so much joy, all the cooking, entertaining, gift wrapping, tree decorating, shopping, and running around can get a little stressful. We need all the help we can get!

This is why I always have a box or two Honey Bunches of Oats® cereal in the house. Not only do I enjoy a delicious bowlful in the morning for breakfast or any time of the day for a quick pick-me-upper, I use my precious stash in all sorts of amazing recipes.

A box of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, used in the crispy coating of these goat cheese balls.

Honey Bunches of Oats® cereal is a delicious ingredient in granola bars, energy bites or yogurt parfaits and makes an effective binder in meatballs, meatloaves or burgers. It’s also a delicious topping for savory casseroles, fruit crumbles or quick bread and a great alternative to breadcrumbs as a coating for chicken, pork chops, seafood or almost anything that needs an extra layer of crunch.

The cereal coating goes so well with my favorite cereal-crusted shrimp appetizers, I knew it will be awesome with these fried goat cheese balls with honey also. Instead of the Panko originally called for in the recipe, I decided to dredge the cheese balls in crushed up Honey Bunches of Oats® cereal instead. May I say, BEST.DECISION.EVER?

Fried Goat Cheese Balls drizzled with honey are sweet, creamy and crunchy. Perfect for a party!

Sweet, creamy and crunchy, these cheese balls are absolutely addicting! G and I kept popping one after the other while I was frying, they were gone before I could properly transfer them to a serving platter from the paper towel-lined plate I was draining them on!

These fried goat cheese balls will definitely be a star at your holiday get-together this year. Prepare a huge batch as they’re going to be a party hit! Good thing Honey Bunches of Oats® many flavors are easy to find at Albertson’s and most major grocery stores. Coupon.com has also a coupon offer you can redeem for extra savings. It’s easy to stock up on our favorite cereal!

    These are rubbish. Do not use cereal on these. Terrible. And they ARE NOT American cuisine.
    Spare me that crap too. They are European!!! Fact
