    Well this is a knock your socks off kind of alternative to crackers with a cheeseball.
    Cheeseballs have been a staple in my family for as long as I can remember, and as beautiful as a cheeseball tastes it's so sad to just toss a bunch of tasteless crackers around it. I saw this recipe and HOLY SMOKES I've been ranting and raving about this life changing combination. The spicy wedges compliment the cheese perfectly... can't get enough

    Made this for a treat day at work and everyone loved it! The ball was a little difficult to form but once I to the hang of it it was okay. I used a mix of mild cheddar and tex mex cheese to appeal to more of the staff but it was great! The wedges were hot and crispy so the cheese kind of melted when we spread it on! :)

    This recipe is great and not difficult at all, it just looks many steps but actually easy to do it. I love anything spicy and this one just packs on spices.
