    I thought this recipe appeared to be difficult, maybe too complicated and not worth the effort - boy was I wrong! It was not that difficult, you do need to follow instructions, but hey, it was easy to do so. My house full of men, loved it! I would make this again and serve it in winter and summer as a great appetizer.

    This was so tasty, my whole family loved it. Such a great take with the jalapeno. i added some cut up jalapenos to make it extra; we love spicy and hot for a different taste.

    This recipe would've turned out better if I was more advanced in my culinary skills haha. However this ended up tasted delightful, although a bit heavy, and was such fun to make with all of my friends, even if we didn't really get the desired effect. I love how you can pretty much stick anything you want into the cheese ball.

    We love this recipe I made half with walnuts for my honey because I don't like them and the other half with cashew and of course my partner loved both and the cashew totally worked for my taste buds! Great party dish!

    Tried this out for menu planning for the superbowl, and it was DELISH! I am a huge fan of cheese and love how easy and versatile this recipe is. Goes very well with the wedges! I also had some veggies on the side for the cheese dip as well...yummo!

    I had to try this with the wedges because I love cheese as much as I love potatoes! It was incredible!

    I ended up changing up a few things in the recipe but I would of never thought to pair a cheese ball and fries/wedges. It was actually pretty good. It had a lot of flavour.
