This creamy, fun dip will be the hit of every Halloween party! I've done several variations of this cheese ball. My daughters really love it! Ingredients:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
3 green onions, thinly sliced |
2 cartons (4 ounces each) whipped cream cheese |
moss-green paste food coloring |
1 can (4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives, drained |
2 pepperoncini |
3 colossal ripe olives |
2 slices peeled parsnip |
black decorating gel |
1 pretzel rod |
1 small cucumber |
assorted fresh vegetables |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce until smooth. Stir in the cheddar cheese, bacon and onions. Shape into a 5-in. x 4-in. x 3-in. rectangle; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled.
2. Unwrap rectangle; place on a serving platter with a 3-in. side on top. Tint whipped cream cheese green; spread over top and sides of rectangle.
3. Add chopped ripe olives for hair and pepperoncinis for ears. Cut one colossal olive in half; add parsnip slices and olive halves for eyes. With black decorating gel, pipe the brow, mouth and stitches.
4. Break pretzel rod in half; add a colossal olive to each end. Press into sides of head for bolts. Cut a small piece from end of cucumber for a nose (save remaining cucumber for another use). Serve with vegetables. Yield: 3 cups.
