Harman’s Cheese Balls

 

Harman's Cheese Balls

Gert Argersinger, our holiday typist in the 70s and 80s was the first to make Cheese Balls for Harman’s. She made them once or twice a week for several years and we had several bakers after her. Now, we keep the recipe right by the cash register to give out to folks and printed it in the brochure that goes out in all our packages.
