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!

I made this 4 days ago for a dinner party. It looked exactly like the picture! I certainly got rave reviews and have already given the recipe to those who asked for it but I changed a few things in the "Directions". I left out "pushing the almonds around untl they turn color" because when I did this, the almonds did not change color as they are already brown. I simply toasted the almonds for the 20 minutes. I also added a bit of garlic powder to the mix. It will be on my lists of favorites.

I really loved this cheese ball! I tweaked it a little like adding more bacon and some finely shredded chedder/jack cheese. I also put shredded cheese around the outside instead of the whole almonds. If you put it in the freezer for about a half hour it is much easier to form. I will definitely make this again and it will be so easy to add other ingrediants to make diferent flavors. Wonderful.

The cheese ball looked exactly like the picture, perfect for a Christmas appetizer. My only complaint would be the whole almonds, they were a little big and not so easy to put on crackers. I ground up the left overs and used it as a pasta sauce, very tasty. However I don't think I would make it again, because of the whole almonds.

The cheese ball was so good. All of my guests loved the way it looked, but when the put it on a craker, the "Heavyset Cheese Ball" became a holiday tradition!

It looks great, and everyone was really impressed at how cool it its but when you taste it its bland. All I could really taste was the cream cheese and like other reviews it was really soft and didn't form too well, I had chilled it overnight prior. Maybe with the garlic and parsley it would be better, or other ingredients, maybe more bacon or dill but it lacked flavor.

I was disappointed that it was too soft but kinda figured it would be without any other cheese. I tasted it after it chilled and thought it was bland then remembered Trish's comment to add garlic and parsley. I also added some grated parmesan and shredded cheddar. We liked it much better! Also, I had sliced almonds on hand so I toasted them, formed the cheese into a log and covered with the sliced almonds.
