This freezes real well too, so you can make a few, just let it thaw in the fridge overnight, thanks for sharing!!! - 3/3/09

I can taste the low fat cream cheese, it's gummy, I think I'll stick with the real thing. - 12/22/17

This is a lot like a cheese ball I used to make but couldn't find the recipe! Thanks! I am pretty sure I used 4 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, too. At least that is what I am planning on doing for this season! But I used the portions of the ingredients, since I couldn't find my old recipe. - 11/25/14

12/2017 It is harder to find ff cream cheese - only found in Walmart this year. This is probably a "maybe" cheeseball for us . Hubby and I liked it. This remains pretty soft - I would like a stronger blue cheese taste. I like the fresh veggies in it. Original recipe not very spicy at all. - 1/1/18

I used lower fat cream cheese, light blue cheese and walnuts and it was a big hit with my Chat and Sew class. I used the corn chip crackers from Trader Joes and everyone wanted the recipe. - 12/22/15

I was looking for something to set up for tonight, since my daughter is visiting over the Christmas holidays. I didn't have the pecans, but I used walnuts instead. I took a tiny taste and it's going to be a hit! - 12/26/13
