The cheddar and cranberry cheese ball came out fantastically and was a hit this holiday! I'm making it again for NYE. Very easy to make as well!

I made all of these as instructed and they came out great. I didn't have a problem with them melting at all. The chutney cheddar one was fantastic -- I used an onion apple chutney and it was perfect with the cheddar and cranberries.

I made all three of these . I divided each cheese ball recipe into thirds, (making 9 total) ,which meant that I used one set for a party the next day and froze the next six. They all have a great taste and I love the variety of things to spread the different cheese mixtures on. However, the only one that actually stayed in a ball was the cheddar-chutney-cranberry ball. The goat cheese one tasted great, but was incredibly soft and more or less melted, the roquefort one turned into soup!

I made these and they were really easy and perfect. They were large, as noted below the size of a grapefruit, not 4 inches as noted in the recipe. I would try and not use the butter and the cranberry needed a little extra something but not sure what. Hint?

Great recipe, makes 3 "softball" sized cheeseballs. Easy to make and a hit with the party!

I made these for a Christmas party. Next time I would skip adding the butter-
a bit more spices were needed - but quite yummy

This has become a family tradition for Thanksgiving appetizers in my family. I have made it for the past 3 years now and everyone looks forward to it. A real crowd pleaser--thanks!

Highly recommend the goat cheese ball with cucumber. Mine was a little soft, so next time I'll either add a little more butter or give myself more time to refrigerate it. It went over really well even as more of a dip, rather than a ball.

I made these for a xmas party, and guests loved them. The three balls provide a nice variety of colors, textures, and flavors. They turned out much larger than I expected - each about the size of a grapefruit (cranberry cheddar was larger than the other two). Festive and yummy.

These were served last night and now here I am for the recipe! Absolutely delicious and they were VERY pretty!

All three were great! They were a big hit at my Christmas cocktail party. My favorite is the Cheddar cranberry cheeseball.

I can't wait to try the goat cheese ball with cucumber. Yum!

I've made these several times since the recipe was first published and they were always a hit! Yes, they do feed a lot of people. I froze what I didn't use and then thawed it and ate it a couple of weeks later. Still delicious!

this is a cheesy idea.

Love this! Very easy to make them and they all were really good!

I made this for a party and it was a huge hit. Not difficult, but does require a lot of dishes to make. Everyone had a favorite cheese ball. . .I highly recommend this for holiday parties. I would also say it would feed more than 8-10. We had 8 people and I had over 1/2 of each ball left.

Made only the goat cheese ball and it was a huge hit! Yummy! My brother asked why I had cucumbers with it instead of crackers and I told him to just try it. His face said it all...

I made the cheese balls 'bite size' and everyone liked them. just pop one into mouith and chew.

I've been making a super-simple version of this (that can be made lower fat) for years. Just mix two packages low-fat cream cheese or neufchatel with chopped green peppers, chopped pimento, garlic, and a little salt. Roll in chopped walnuts and you're done. My vegetarian daughter loves it!

very tasty and easy

it is very tasty and easy everybody liked it

I made this for my family's Christmas party and it was a huge hit! They especially liked the cheddar cranberry one.

excellent idea
