This cheese ball was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of pecans in this recipe. It turned out great!

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cheese ball was dry and crumbly, and the coating didn't stick very well.

This cheese ball was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again with less jalapeño next time.
