This was really good, regardless of shaping issues. I actually doubled the recipe and used the same amount of butter, but it was still quite soft. I made it the night before, and froze until just before serving. I think I will experiment with eliminating the butter completely, because I feel that it is simply unnecessary. Just makes the cheeseball greasy. And perhaps reduced fat cream cheese could be used if the butter were eliminated....regardless, it's delicious, you can't argue with chocolate and cheese! YUM.

This was ok but a bit to sweet for a dip. I think this would be wonderful as a frosting between a few layers of really dense chocolate cake. If I make it again I would use it as frosting.

This was delicious! Very rich, although some other reviewers said they thought it tasted like cream cheese frosting - mine was more cheesecake flavored. I lined a round bowl with plastic wrap and filled with the mixture - after sitting in the fridge overnight it was still soft like cream cheese, but held it's shape nicely. I omitted nuts and coated with crushed chocolate graham crackers, then decorated with Teddy Grahams as this was to be served at a baby shower. Served with graham cracker sticks, honey wheat pretzel rods and more Teddy Grahams - was also yummy with cinnamon sugar pita crisps, although those ended up getting served with Annies' Fruit Salsa. This recipe is a definite winner! Thank you!

Have made this recipes several times and it is a big hit. I leave out the pecan nuts though because the kids don't like them. Be careful when you make this because once you start eating it, it is hard to stop ;)!!

I substituted graham cracker crumbs for the chopped pecans and served it with graham crackers. My husband and I thought there were too many chocolate chips -- I would probably reduce to just half a cup or less next time. And I'll probably label it the next time I take it to a potluck; I found my cheeseball next to the chili at the potluck I brought it for! It tasted excellent and was only half gone when we brought it home, so we ended up finishing it off that night by ourselves. Sinfully delicious! :)

Excellent! I get usual requests for this one at pot-lucks! The first time I made this I threw the ingredients in the Kitchen-Aide and started working on another dish. I then realized I whipped it too much and it would not hold. I just placed the mixture into a massive martini glass and called in a Chocolate Martini dip! The second time I was more cautious of my mixing and placed in a bowl (once wrapped in saran) and then put in the freezer to speed up the molding. Instead of rolling in chocolate chips I chop up praline nut mix and skor bits - gives it a little toffee flavour - YUMMY

You are going to want to double this! I took it to a "girls night out", served it with chocolate and cinnamon graham crackers and came home empty handed. After multiple requests for the recipe, I had to come back and give kudos.

It was okay. I brought it to a party and there was a lot leftover. It just reminded me of cream cheese frosting. Thanks but won't be making again.

This was a big hit at a party I went to! I did not have time to make it into a ball and refrigerate so I placed it in a pretty dish and used it as a spread that way. What a great recipe. Thank you.

Yummy! I didn't shape into a ball and just served as a dip. I served with homemade flour tortilla chips w/ sugar and cinnamon. Definitely a hit.

Wow. Wonderful creative and fun. Thanks for a great dessert. My family loved this and I can't wait to share it with my bible study group. Cinnamon regular gram crackers were perfect with this.
