I love this recipe, it is a hit at gatherings and people beg you for the recipe. If I could rate it higher, I would! I found that you should not substitute the butter for margarine. It's not as flavorful and becomes more of a spread than a cheese ball. I also think the graham crackers are best as a side. In addition, I use less chocolate chips (1/2 cup) and it seems to be more popular this way. -
This is the second time I"ve made this. Everyone loves it. Followed everything exactly the first time...Just made it again for our Derby party today. This time I doubled the batch...but because I was feeling lazy, I just spread it in a shallow oval dish (bigger than a pie plate size) and set it in the fridge overnight. It turned out great! -
My Daughter's favorite party treat!! Super yummy!! One small change, I served mine with graham cracker sticks instead of the triscuits. -
I served it with Triscuits, as mentioned, and it lasted less than one hour with my book club! Truly awesome! -
Didn't try it with the Triscuits, but will get some to try the last bit with. We had it with graham cracker sticks, both chocolate and honey. This went together quickly, held its shape well and was enjoyed by everyone. I had all the ingredients on hand, so when I saw the recipe, I decided to "whip" one up. Thanks LTF...I really like this version of this recipe.
