Mix chiles, cheeses, and egg yolks together until well blended; add peanuts. Form into 1-inch balls. Roll in bread crumbs; refrigerate. Cook in a deep fryer 3 or 4 at a time, until they float in oil and desired browness is reached (about 2 minutes). Remove from oil and drain on absorbent paper. Repeat until all Cheese Balls are cooked.

Yield: 6 dozen
