Fruit Cocktail Cheese Ball

Directions

Take one can of fruit cocktail ( I use the no sugar added)...Drain the juice...Take a hand held potato masher ( or one of those hand held pastry dough cutters works that you use to cut the shortening and flour together for pie crust) and mash the fruit...Mix in one small box of sugar free vanilla pudding...Mix in 2 packs of softenend cream cheese...I then chopped ( or crush, whichever you prefer)up some walnuts ( can use pecans) and spread them out on a sheet of aluminum foil...Form the mixture into a ball with your hands and lay it down on the walnuts, and then turn it over, press left over nuts laying onto your cheese ball... Optional...Sometimes I add a small can of drained mandarin oranges to the fruit cocktail for a fruitier taste
