This cheese ball was a total disaster! It was crumbly and dry, and it didn't taste very good. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had some trouble getting the cheese ball to hold its shape, but it still tasted good. I think I'll try using a different type of cheese next time.

This cheese ball was a little too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think it would be good to serve with a lighter cracker or bread.

I'm not a big fan of cheese balls, but this one was actually pretty good. It was light and fluffy, and the flavor was nice.
