I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheese ball didn't turn out right. It was too crumbly.

This cheese ball was a little too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of cheese balls, but this one was actually pretty good. I liked the combination of flavors.

I had a hard time finding cream cheese that wasn't whipped. I ended up using a combination of cream cheese and sour cream.

This cheese ball was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
