Spooky Cheese Ball
Here’s a delightful recipe for Creepy Crawly Chocolate Bark, perfect for Halloween or any fun gathering!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1-2 tsp mixed herbs (such as parsley, dill, or chives)
- Chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) or additional herbs for rolling
- Crackers for serving
- Pretzel sticks for “spider legs”
Instructions:
Mix the Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and mixed herbs. Use a spatula or mixer to blend until smooth and well combined.
Shape the Cheese Ball: Once the mixture is well combined, shape it into a ball using your hands.
Coat the Cheese Ball: Roll the cheese ball in chopped nuts or herbs until it is fully coated. This adds flavor and a nice texture.
Create Spider Legs: To make the cheese ball look spooky, insert pretzel sticks into the bottom of the cheese ball to resemble spider legs. For a fun effect, you can use 8-10 pretzel sticks.
Serve: Place the cheese ball on a serving platter with an assortment of crackers around it.
Enjoy: Serve at your Halloween party and watch your guests enjoy this spooky treat!
Feel free to get creative with the presentation, perhaps adding some olives for eyes or using a small dish for a “spider web” effect with sour cream or ranch dressing. Enjoy your spooky cheese ball!
