This cheese ball is delicious! I actually got the recipe from my cousin several years ago and loved it. I made it for my in-law's and now I'm famous in their little town for that cheese ball. I prefer to make this by shredding my own cheese. It doesn't really affect the taste, it's just a personal preference.

I usually throw everything in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Then I mix everything really well and put in the oven. I love this dip!

I made several modifications to this recipe and what I came up with was good but not great. I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose, 1 cup packed brown sugar instead of white sugar, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, a splash of vanilla, 1.25 cups of plain lowfat yogurt instead of oil, 2 cups of frozen cranberries and 1 cup of walnuts. The actual pumpkin muffin part was very moist and flavorful. But I added to many cranberries for my taste and that is what lowered my rating for them. One thing I noticed though is that they tasted better the next day rather than warm from the oven.
