Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar shredded
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 whole peppercorns for eyes
  • 1 crackers for serving

Method
 

  1. Beat the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and ranch seasoning together until smooth.
  2. Scoop most of the mixture into a ball for the body and a smaller ball for the head, then chill 1 hour.
  3. Press the two balls together on a platter and shape slivered almonds into ears.
  4. Add peppercorns for eyes and use a few almonds for whiskers and feet.
  5. Surround with crackers and serve.

Notes

Chill the cheese balls before shaping so they hold their form.
