Turkey Cheese Ball

By sassy47

Ingredients

• 1 8oz package cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar
• 1/2 cup of chopped up mixed nuts
• 2 candy eyes
• 1 Slim Jim
• Pretzel sticks
• 1 round chocolate candy
• 1 candy corn
• A few tsp of melted chocolate (to adhere your eyes and beak)

Preparation

Step 1

Blend your cream cheese and cheddar cheese in a bowl.
Then scoop the mixed cheese into a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a ball.
Place your wrapped cheese ball into the fridge for a few hours so the cheese firms up a bit.
After it is firm, roll your cheese ball into the mixed nuts, careful not to ruin your ball shape. After you have it covered in nuts, freeze the cheese ball to solidify it again.
Now it's time to bring your turkey to life! Start adding the pretzels on one end, in a fan pattern. This will act as your Turkey's tail.
Then, use your melted chocolate on the tip of the Slim Jim to attach the round chocolate candy.\
Then add some more chocolate to attach your eyes and beak.
Stick the Slim Jim in the the center of the cheese ball facing away from the pretzel sticks.
Serve on a dish surrounded by crackers.
