Expert Tips

Make a stunning presentation by sprinkling the cheese ball with chopped fresh parsley. Place cheese spread on a pretty serving platter, and surround it with a variety of crackers so guests can choose what they like. Try one of the cracker variety packs containing several types of crackers in one box.

Add about 2 teaspoons of a favorite dried herb—basil works especially well—to the cheese mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

This was very good, took it to a birthday party and they loved it. I did add some fresh cooked bacon crumles.

Very easy to make. Wonderful taste. Always a hit. I don't add anything extra and I use pecans.

I brought this to a birthday party, and while I wasn't 100% crazy about it, everyone else loved it. The family dog actually managed to sink her teeth into it too when nobody was watching! Now saying that, you would think the family would throw it away. Wrong! They liked it so much that they continued to eat it.
