These are perfect appetizers -- the flavors blend beautifully. Made them with nonfat cream cheese and reduced fat blue cheese and my guests never noticed. Be sure to work quickly when rolling the balls out; the cheese has a tendency to get soft very quickly. Next time I might work with half the cheese at a time. But will definitely make again.
