cheese ball
Spherical cocktail snack
A cheese ball is a spherical mass of soft cheese mixed with seasonings, typically rolled in chopped nuts and served as an appetizer with crackers: Every holiday party had the same cheese ball on the table.
Separately, cheese ball describes someone corny, tacky, or trying too hard to be funny or charming: He's such a cheese ball with those pickup lines.
