DELICIOUS! I wanted to serve something and since I love cream cheese & pineapple sandwiches, I was intrigued. I took your advice and made a log-my ball looked goofy! So easy and lots of great flavor. Only change was that I used seasoned salt instead of regular salt. Thank you so much for a great recipe!!!

I have always wanted to try this type of cheese ball. Very different and good. I wanted more pinapple flavor so I drained and used a whole can of pinapple it it was way yum...it was more dip like then so I couldn't form it into a ball but very tasty that way..thanks

This is my all-time favorite cheese ball. I usually add a little garlic salt. It always gets scarfed up quickly. I never thought of doing it in a log, but I might try that next time. Good idea; thanks.
