This M&M Cheese Ball is a fun, sweet dessert for Valentine’s Day. It is a crowd-pleaser for both adults and children. We’ve made this cheese ball dip for movie nights before and the kids enjoy it!

Dessert cheese balls are sure to satisfy holiday party guests. We love making this no-bake cheesecake-like dip for gatherings and holiday parties. Cheese balls are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. One of my favorites is this Valentine’s Day M&M Cheese Ball. The kids have already asked for another cheese ball for St. Patrick’s Day. The dip is filled with cream cheese and M&M’s then shaped into a ball and coated with more M&M candies. We like to serve our cheese ball desserts with pretzels for a sweet and salty combo. Nilla wafers, graham crackers, and small cookies also pair really well with cheese balls.
