Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Mixing spoon or spatula
  • Resealable plastic bag
  • Platter or serving tray

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crushed nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips for coating
  • Pretzel sticks for pumpkin stems
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for leaves

Instructions
 

  • Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, green onions, red bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Form Cheese Balls: Divide the cheese mixture into small portions and shape each portion into a ball using your hands. You can make the cheese balls as big or small as you like, depending on your preference.
  • Coat with Chips: Crush the nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips in a resealable plastic bag until they form a fine crumb. Roll each cheese ball in the crushed chips until fully coated.
  • Add Pumpkin Details: Insert a pretzel stick into the top of each cheese ball to resemble a pumpkin stem. Use small pieces of fresh parsley or cilantro to create leaves around the stem.
  • Chill: Place the finished cheese balls on a platter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up.
  • Serve: Serve your Halloween Pumpkin Patch Cheese Balls with crackers, sliced vegetables, or any of your favorite dippers. Enjoy!
