Used regular cream cheese for this, as well as Medjool dates & golden raisins! Also used half mild & half sharp cheddar cheese and pecans, all of which resulted in a GREAT TASTING cheese ball! Went together so easily & everyone thought it was OUTSTANDING! Many thanks for the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
