This recipe was a total hit for an adult birthday party. I served it with Vanilla Wafers. I made it the day before, added pecans and chocolate chips inside the ball...it took about 24 hours to get hard enough to shape, I rolled it in chocolate chips and pecans also. Definately make in advance

THIS IS VERY EASY TO MAKE AND GETS RAVE REVIEWS. I MADE TWO BALLS AND ROLLED ONE IN REGULAR OREO CRUMBS AND ONE ONE IN MINT OREO CRUMBS.

Very tasty. I will add more brown sugar next time.

If you use a fat-free or fat-reduced cream cheese, it is not possible to shape into a ball, even with the addition of extra powdered sugar. Makes a great frosting recipe though. Have to go for the calories on this one and use the full fat to get a good cheeseball.

I am updating my rating of this recipe. I have made this several times. I have learned that you can use 1/3 less fat or regular cream cheese but it WILL NOT work with fat free cream cheese. It's doesn't matter if you use brand name or store brand. Also users may want to use the Keebler brand graham cracker STICKs. They are the perfect accessory for this recipe. I have also used GROUND nuts to cover the cheese ball. You can find this in your local grocery store.

This was wonderful! I took it to a potluck and people I'd never met before were asking me for the recipe. I rolled mine in graham cracker crumbs & more chocolate chip instead of nuts and that worked beautifully.

This is a great recipe, easy to mmake and tastes great. It was the hit of the party. I rolled mine in mini M&M's so everyone knew it was sweet.

This recipe is a winner all around! I've made it several times for different functions and everyone loves it once they realize it's a dessert cheese ball. Be careful when mixing it though - the mixture gets way too soft to handle. I put it in the freezer to firm up. Then I shape it into a ball. Then I freeze it again to firm it up enough to add the pecan coating. I then wrap the cheese ball in foil and keep it frozen until about 30 minutes prior to serving.

I made this for a bachularette party... it tastes great... but i got generic graham crackers, and they tasted stale, so not many people ate it, but the ones that did said it was great. I had to explain it to them a couple of times so they would understand it was a desert. Probably would do better with a more adult, non-picky eater group. I honestly didn't have any problem making it. I let it sit in the bowl in the regrig over night, rolled it up in saran wrap, and stuck it in the freezer until i was ready to serve it. It was perfect! (Kinda looked like a Hershey's Kiss) Oh, and I didn't roll mine in any nuts, just more chocolate chips.

LOVED this, as did the women I served it to. I added pre-packaged Heath candy bar bits (enough to combine with the chips) and followed other reviewers input to cut back a little on the powdered sugar and up the brown sugar to 3 tablespoons. I made it well ahead of time (about 2 days, just so I would have one less thing to do when company arrived) - let it set in the fridge as it was (after stirring together); formed it into a ball and froze it (on parchment paper) for a few hours. Pulled it out an hour before eating it, put it on top of some food-processed crushed pecans in a bowl and shook the bowl enough to coat each side. Used a cheese spreader to spread it onto choc. graham cracker sticks as others suggested. Can't sing this recipe's praises enough, and so EASY!
