DO AHEAD

Make the cheese whiz at least 1 day ahead and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. These pretzel balls are best served warm immediately but will keep, uncovered, at room temperature for up to 18 hours. The pretzel balls can be reheated in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes.

This recipe originated with a trip to a friend’s cottage in high school. Josie’s best friend, Neil, had invited her to the family cottage and Neil’s mom, Barb, prepared an appetizer based on Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, topped with cream cheese mixed with salad dressing and whatever fresh veggies were in the fridge. It didn’t seem like much at first, but Josie couldn’t stop eating it. Then she couldn’t stop making it. Eventually this version emerged with homemade puff pastry, our own buttermilk ranch cream cheese, a rainbow of vegetables, and an elegant garnish. The result is an accessible dish, popular at parties, and a great weekday family meal.
