I tried this recipe at a few gatherings. EVERYONE loves this cheese ball.They think it is very difficult to make, if they only knew. My mother-in-law, who is the best at everything, asked ME for the recipe!! The 2nd time I tried this with slivered almonds and I like this much better. A sure hit for any party. For an added kick, I chop a celery stalk and 1/2 an onion. I saute that in 2 TBSP of butter, let cool and mix with the rest of the ingredients. If you cut the recipe in half you get a cheese ball the size of a large orange or a small grapefruit, I find that is plenty. THIS IS A HIT!!!!!!!

This cheese ball was really good and EASY! I made it for Thanksgiving. Everyone asked for the recipe. I used toasted-slivered almonds for the nuts, just because I happened to have them on hand. This recipe's a definite keeper.

This cheeseball is really nice!! It went over very well at a get together. I did not have a ranch seasoning packet so I used the dry ingredients to the "Ranch DressingII" recipe found on the salads recipe page. I also recommend you use the toasted slivered almonds. They really make it something special.

This is a recipe that I've been making for several years and everyone just LOVES it. When I give out the recipe (from memory, of course) no one can believe how easy it is! I always double the amount when I take it to parties because it goes so quickly. My husband can eat a full recipe by himself!

I use a similar recipe that omits the cheddar cheese and includes cayenne pepper (amount depends on your taste). I rated it a 4 for kids because they might not like the hotness. Definitely a winner at parties!!!

This cheeseball was so easy to make! I used walnuts instead of pecans and it was great. I also used some of the nuts inside of the cheeseball as well as on the outside. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this recipe for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. I must say that I didnt actually try it because I was so busy doing other things. But here is my oppinion on making it. This makes a HUGE cheeseball. I had 35 people and I had half leftover at the end. But anyways. I must stress that the cream cheese MUST be softened. I didnt have time to let it sit out of the fridge. And let me tell you my arm just about broke. My hubby and I had to take turns stirring. But aside from that I believe this was a good recipe. Everone seemed to love it. And my dad and aunt were fighting over who got to take home the leftovers! Thanks!!!

Quick and Easy, a real hit at my company party! It's also good with using reduced fat cheeses!

I found this recipe last year around Christmas time and used my friends as guinea pigs during our yearly gift exchange. It was gone long before any of the other more complicated recipes I'd tried. This has become a staple for me to take to gatherings and EVERYONE loves it. My husband can't get enough of it and always asks me to make an extra one to eat at home. GREAT recipe! SO easy too!
