It's my favorite thing ever, appetizers. Haha, I don't know why little cream cheese balls make me happy but these Mini Cheese Ball Pretzel Bites especially do!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese Softened (2 of the 8 ounce cream cheese boxes)
- 1 Jar Kraft Old English Sharp Cheese found by the crackers

- 1 Scant Teaspoon Garlic Salt
- 1 Scant Teaspoon Onion Salt
- 2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
- 2 Heaping Tablespoons Mayonnaise

Instructions
