Bacon Dill Cheese Ball

Dill is one of my favorite herbs and it's not a flavor you find in a lot of appy's, so I think this Bacon Dill Cheese Ball would be something really different to bring to a party! This is one of those cheese balls that can be shaped like a pine cone and studded with sliced almonds if you'd like... I had to chuckle because the person that wrote the recipe said "while impressive, that's a pain in the patootie", I'll let you make that determination for yourself:@)

Leftovers are great on a bagel and this recipe can easily be cut in half. 

Don't hesitate to give it a try folks, it's good stuff!
