Great party snack...i actually cut the phili in half and it was still quite large. I also added some dried cramberries which gave it a sweet and salty taste. Everyone was impressed!

Excellent! This was so easy to make and it was a bit hit at last night's get together. I may omit the green onions next time.

Hello, I noticed this recipe has been re-included this year, I made this for last yr's Superbowl party and everyone loved it especially the guys who liked the football look to it. Easy and fun to make.. Maria

Made for super bowl party very good...Used bacon bits instead of nuts...Not a big nut fan...Fed a large crowd and still had left overs....

This was such a hit with everyone!! It was delicious and great with crackers and veggies alike. I like that I can make just regular cheese logs for parties instead of just a football.
