It was different than other port wine cheese balls that I've tried .

Maggi ★ 4.0/5

I have someone with a nut allegy so would say chopped craisins, cranberries work. Suggestions appreciated

Suzy ★ 5.0/5

I had not idea how easy this would be to make at home. I normally buy a cheeseball but love homemade better!
