    Yes, yes and yes!! This was such a huge hit with the family, we have had this a few times now. It is a labor of love, I'm a little lazy at times, but this is so worth it. I absolutely love those McCain Spicy Wedges, yummy in my tummy. Great find!

    I thought this recipe appeared to be difficult, maybe too complicated and not worth the effort - boy was I wrong! It was not that difficult, you do need to follow instructions, but hey, it was easy to do so. My house full of men, loved it! I would make this again and serve it in winter and summer as a great appetizer.

    This was so tasty, my whole family loved it. Such a great take with the jalapeno. i added some cut up jalapenos to make it extra; we love spicy and hot for a different taste.

    I made this recipe this past weekend for Family Day out at camp. I buy my father a Jalapeno Cheese Ball from Pepperidge Farm every year for Christmas, and thought this would be a nice addition to the weekend. It doesn't taste the same, but was good on its own. The walnuts added a bit of texture and it wasn't too spicy . . . I would actually probably add a bit of Frank's next time.

    Spreading the dip over the wedges was tricky, and over time we just ended up gabbing a box of crackers from the pantry. Cheese balls are usually left out for people to eat as they are socializing, which makes them an odd pairing for potato wedges which are best served hot.

    Unique idea, and great recipe for a cheese ball . . . just not the best pairing in my opinion.

    This recipe would've turned out better if I was more advanced in my culinary skills haha. However this ended up tasted delightful, although a bit heavy, and was such fun to make with all of my friends, even if we didn't really get the desired effect. I love how you can pretty much stick anything you want into the cheese ball.
