  3. Well that is different. Never heard of a "sweet" cheeseball, but it sounds good! My 3 year old is sitting in my lap and she saw the pic and said "Are we going to their house?" LOL

  5. When I read the name of the recipe, I was very skeptical, but I think it could work. Using cream cheese as the cheese base, the sugar, graham crackers, and vanilla, it almost sounds like a deconstructed cheesecake.
