Cheeseballs are okay, but this one is super amazing! I wish I could claim credit for this one, but once again it's from Craig's family recipe treasure trove. It stores well. Cooking time is chilling time. Caution: This is very addicting. I am not responsible for any pounds gained from eating this.

This is a great cheeseball recipe I picked up somewhere over 30 yrs ago. It's still a family favorite! This one is better if you let it age a day or so to let the garlic age in.
