Your guests are in for a sweet surprise when they try this unusual cheese ball…it tastes just like cookie dough! Rolled in chopped pecans, the chip-studded spread is wonderful on regular or chocolate graham crackers. I especially like it because it can be assembled in a wink. —Kelly Glascock, Syracuse, Missouri

Everyone loved this cheese ball when I made it for 2 different Christmas parties. I rolled the chilled ball in Heath Toffee Bits the 2nd time I made this. I also served the cheese ball with Gr. Smith apple wedges (unpeeled) and gingersnap cookies for a variation. This is very addicting!

A nice after-dinner treat that worked well with pretzels.

I took this to a housewarming party and everyone raved about it. I did not make it with the walnuts. I ended up rolling the cheese ball in graham crackers and chocolate chips and it made for a tasty treat. Served it with graham crackers and mini pretzels. Super easy to make and delicious!

I made this for a family get-together and everyone loved it. They were even eating it just by itself off a spoon!

I had a girls' game night and served a few appetizers. Since this had a sweet theme, I served it towards the end. Lived by all. A keeper. Thanks!

Use regular butter. Not margarine as it did not set.

I took this to a MOPS meeting, and the women couldn't get enough of it. I served it with traditional and chocolate graham crackers: yum!
