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

I've been making this for years. Chocolate Graham crackers are best with this. And I have stuffed cannoli shells with this. Delicious!

I made this as part of our Christmas Eve buffet, and it was a hit. It tastes just like cheesecake, and it's so quick and easy!

My family loves this recipe. I serve it with pretzels for a salty, sweet taste.

Have made this for years. I roll the bar in mini chocolate chips instead of pecans. Helps people realize it is more of a dessert and not a traditional cheese ball. Works well with graham cracker sticks.

Been making this for over a decade now. I do not roll it in pecans but rather, leave it as it is or will roll into a bit more mini chocolate chips. I serve with chocolate graham crackers. It is like frosting.

Have made this for years. Have omitted Brown sugar and shaped into a ghost at Halloween time - served with Scooby Do bone grahm crackers! Kids always love this one and animal crackers go well with it!

I made this and didn't have any pecans. Used graham cracker crumbs instead and it was wonderful! So easy.

We served these at both of our daughter's wedding receptions and they were the hit of the evening! Everyone wanted the recipe; we have passed it on quite a bit.
