    We love this recipe I made half with walnuts for my honey because I don't like them and the other half with cashew and of course my partner loved both and the cashew totally worked for my taste buds! Great party dish!

    Tried this out for menu planning for the superbowl, and it was DELISH! I am a huge fan of cheese and love how easy and versatile this recipe is. Goes very well with the wedges! I also had some veggies on the side for the cheese dip as well...yummo!

    I had to try this with the wedges because I love cheese as much as I love potatoes! It was incredible!

    I ended up changing up a few things in the recipe but I would of never thought to pair a cheese ball and fries/wedges. It was actually pretty good. It had a lot of flavour.

    I didn't like this cheese ball. I just didn't think it went well with the wedges.js

    I took this one to a party and everyone who like jalapeno peppers thought it was wonderful. There wasn't a tiny morsel of it left on the plate!

    This is great for a quick party tray. We used the cheese ball on the toast too. I like the wedges with other condiments so I ate them separately. Everyone enjoyed this.
