I love it! I used thinly gated asiago cheese because I didn't have cheddar. I was afraid since it is very sharp cheese, but it is great! I added roasted salted sunflower seeds to the pecan because I liked the salty/sweet flavor it gave the cheese ball.

Update 01/01/07: after trying this with everything from crackers to pretzels to chips, I finally spread some on a slice of homemade bread and found the perfect marriage for it--it would be great as a finger sandwich! Original rating on 12/30/06: I made this for my family, and although one person gave it 5 stars, I am rating it 4 star. I do love the dates with the cream cheese, but it needs another layer of flavor. Thanks for sharing, Sue!

I made this to take to a party tonight because I had all the ingredients left over and didn't have to go out and buy anything. I was a little doubtful about the dates mixed with the cheeses, but you know, that little bit of sweetness really made it delicious. Thanks for a great recipe. We love it!
