I forgot to add the stars too! 5 stars! Don't forget to chill this for at least 2 hours or overnight. Can make up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover cheese ball in plastic and roll in pepper just before serving. I double the recipe because I like one for myself and one for the party! I use the whole 8oz block of creme cheese and find that 1/2 cup of sour creme is perfect if doubling recipe. If only making single ball...use the whole 8oz but you might want to cut down on the sour creme otherwise I find that the ball comes out too wet and not as easy to roll in pepper. Buy "coarse" black pepper instead of grinding your own. I used to grind my own but would take forever and the taste is just the same with store-bought pepper. This will become one of your favorite appetizers for sure! Everyone loves it!
