Pineapple Cheeseball
This pineapple cheeseball recipe for all you ladies. Now, don’t get me wrong, men can love a good pineapple cheeseball too, but let’s be honest, it’s usually the ladies that end up hanging around the cheeseball and crackers. As everyone is gearing up for their big (or small) Super Bowl parties, we will probably be making all kinds of wings and dips and chili. 
I love a good cheeseball
Directions:
Combine all ingredients (except pecans) in a bowl.
Roll cheese mixture into two balls (or one large ball.)
Then roll cheeseball in chopped pecans, coating the outside.
Wrap up cheeseballs with plastic wrap or put into airtight container. Allow cheeseballs to set up in the fridge (at least 2-4 hours.) This lets the flavors meld together a bit.
These cheeseballs will keep in your fridge for about 4-5 days so they are great to make in advance. Serve with your favorite crackers.
Enjoy!

December 6, 2011 at 3:53 pmBrandie, so love your site. Am making your cheeseball right now. Thought you might like to try the other one I am making. Garlic Cheese Logs….1 pkg cream cheese, 5 cloves garlic finely chopped, 2 cups any cheese grated (I use either cheddar or swiss, 1 to 3 dashes Tabasco. Mix well and roll into 2 logs. I now take 1 cup of finely chopped pecans and roll the logs in the pecans.

June 20, 2012 at 3:12 pmI make this same cheeseball and mine makes 2, so I always have nearly a whole left, yummmm! Try adding a little bit of seasoned salt to the mix (to taste) and you will be surprised. It takes away from the sweet and really adds to it.

April 27, 2014 at 9:20 pmI used to make this cheese ball MANY years ago … !!! One addition our "gang" used was ham pieces (deleting the W/sauce) ~ a wonderful, salty contrast to the sweet pineapple ~ and so very tasty! I just served it again not long ago after a very long time, and was rewarded with many compliments … and requests for the great recipe! Your many readers will be happy they make it … and I am happy I found you, your lovely blog, and many more recipes! Thanks!
