Black Widow Cheese Ball
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz low fat cream cheese
- 1, 5 oz jar Kraft Old English Cheddar Cheese (when I can’t find this, I just use shredded cheddar and it works well too)
- 2, 5 oz jars Roka Blue Cheese
- 1 small onion chopped small
- 2–3 garlic cloves minced
- pecan meats chopped
- 1, 5 oz jar black sesame seeds
- red frosting gel
- 2 small pieces of red bell pepper
- 4 silver pipe cleaners for decorating
Instructions
- Bring cheese to room temperature.
- Blend with electric mixer until fluffy.
- Add onion, garlic and pecans and mix on low.
- Scoop onto a plate, cover with plastic wrap loosely, and use your hands to form into the shape of a spider (two circles, one smaller for the head, and one bigger for the body).
- Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Coat with black sesame seeds and add two small red bell peppers for eyes and an X-shape triangle for the ‘black widow’ on the top of the spider’s back.
- Cut pipe cleaners in half ad bend in a V-shape for spider legs.
- Tuck each of the eight legs onto the spider’s body.
- Serve with your choice of crackers and veggies like carrots and celery.
