2 cups pretzel sticks

8 ounce can canned cheese

4.5 ounces cheese balls

Lay out several sheets of waxed paper or aluminum foil on your work surface. Break the pretzel sticks in half. Squeeze the canned cheese into a small dish for each person who will be making the X's. Using a pretzel as a dauber, place a small dab of cheese in the center of a pretzel stick half. Top with another pretzel stick half to form an X. Repeat with the remaining pretzels. Let the X's dry for at an hour, then mix the X's with the cheese ball O's. Store in a tightly sealed bag or container at room temperature.
