I followed the recipe axactly and it was a HUGE hit! Even people that didn't care for bleu cheese loved it! Several people asked for the oh-so-easy recipe. Please note that the food processer is IMPERATIVE! There's no other way to cream the cheeses properly. This is a keeper!

I'm not understanding WHY they have to be in 6 individual balls.
Can't I make one large ball and serve with crakers ona platter?

Awesome! I served it at a holiday party and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. I'm bringing it to another party tonight with dried cherries this time. YUM!
