Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup Crushed nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 2 whole Black olives
- 1 small piece Red bell pepper
- 4 sticks Pretzel sticks
- 1 pack Crackers or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and green onions. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the cheese mixture into a ball using your hands. If the mixture is too soft to shape, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Roll the cheese ball in the chopped parsley and crushed nuts until it is evenly coated on all sides.
Place the cheese ball on a serving plate and begin decorating it to resemble a goblin. Use whole black olives for the eyes, a small piece of red bell pepper for the mouth, and pretzel sticks to mimic horns or other fun goblin-like features.
Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 1 hour to set and allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with crackers or vegetable sticks for dipping.
