 Vicki Vargas (California) says:
This cheeseball recipe is a family favorite because it goes out of the traditional box of cheeseballs for the holidays. The fruit combined with the cream cheese with the crunch of the Almond Delight Cereal make it feel like a tropical holiday treat and compliments food that may be on the salty side.
