Pine Cone Cheese Ball! (Edit recipe)

This makes for a stunning Christmas centerpiece, or simply the star of the appetizer spread! It's super easy to make & can be made ahead of time! I used (dye free) edible gold luster dust for the slow perfect sparkling touch, but you can see it looks just as show stopping without the dust if you choose to omit. (It adds no taste)
