  26. Brandie, 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.

  27. I 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.

  30. I 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!
