This was a hit. However I did not use Mayo..ugh! Instead I replaced it with sour cream and also I added a little bit of garlic powder. Beautiful presentation.

I made this cheese ball and another and brought to work for a survey to see which one to make for my family. This one won by a landslide. I think I will change it a bit by adding another cream cheese and more bacon, dill and green onion. I used maple flavored bacon. Not sure if that made a difference or not. Will be usinging this again and again - already gave out 6 recipes to co-workers!!!

This looks so pretty, I am making it for our annual holiday party in a couple of days. I am using a pine cone decorating theme, so this will be perfect. However, I will substitute Mexican sour cream for the mayo, as I detest and never use the stuff. Should be great with the bacon and dill.

I've had this recipe from Bon Appetit dated Nov. of 1980. It was originally in a Blue Diamond Almond/Kraft Mayo ad. Presentation is beautiful, but I never loved the dip underneath. Any ideas for something else?

Made this last year and it was a HIT! I got so many compliments on my "hard work". This recipe is super tasty and easy to make - and, no, my almonds never really darken. I made it again today, leaving out the salt and pepper, and I still don't think it's bland. I have, and will, make this again and again. Thanks again, Paula!

I used this recipe and formed one large "pine cone" which was completely consumed during our recent Christmas party. I used Hormel bacon bits instead of cooking bacon - due to time constraints! I bought the smoked, salted almonds and baked them as directed. I'm not sure that made any difference to the outcome as they were already pretty brown. I used fresh Rosemary as the garnish. It was beautiful and delicious!
