Cheese Ball {goodness}!

I got this from Paige actually but it is the {best} cheese ball and has such good flavor! I love it with [wheat thins] or [chiken in a biskit] or [thin crisp triscuits].

1 package Hidden Valley Ranch buttermilk
½ cup mayo
½ cup milk
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredder cheddar cheese
[mix together, I usually add it all in my kitchenaid cuz it mixes smoother]

1 package Sliced almonds [mix 3/4 bag in the mixture and save some to on the saran wrap so when you put the mixture on top of it, it has pretty almonds on top!]

Mold into ball or 2 balls … cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for a few hours.
