This is a cute and clever idea courtesy of Betty Crocker. I made a bunch of these for a party and everyone loved them. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons smoked cheddar firm cold pack cheese food (from 8-oz container), well chilled |
2 teaspoons finely chopped peanuts |
4 butter-flavored pretzel spindles or sticks, broken in half |
16 tiny pieces fresh parsley leaves |
this will make 8 pumpkins so you need to double or triple the ingredients for more. |
Directions:
1. Line small serving plate with waxed paper.
2. Roll each level tablespoon cold pack cheese food into a ball; place on waxed paper-lined serving plate.
3. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes for easier handling.
4. With end of toothpick, draw ridges around balls to resemble pumpkins.
5. Dip bottoms of cheese balls in chopped peanuts.
6. Just before serving, insert pretzel halves into cheese balls for pumpkin stems. Decorate with parsley for leaves.
7. Store in refrigerator.
8. This is also a fun projext to do with the kids!
