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

Absolutely unbelievable! If you are ever going to an Hors d' Oeuvres party and want to take a desert item...this is the ticket!

This is AWESOME! Was big hit at our latest party! I did not make a ball. I spread it in a pie plate and topped with ROASTED pecans, That way you get pecans in every scoop.

BANGIN'!!!! This recipe is super easy and scrumptious. I used low fat cream cheese, and added a 1/2 cup powdered cocoa for a whole new level of deliciousness!! Yes, the low fat version is hard to roll in a ball, so I added the chopped pecans to the mixture and called it a dip, served with salty mini pretzels...but my son ans I just ate it with spoons!! YUM!!

Everyone always requests I bring this along to a party. Serve with a variety of Teddy Grams and mini Nila Wafers.

I used a strawberry flavored cream cheese and everyone thought it was great! It put it over the top in added flavor.

I have made this for five years. In place of pecans, I have used almonds, grahams, choc grahams, and even peanut butter chips as the topper!! it is excellent srved with scooby snacks and especially, with chocolate anil crackers!!
