Pumpkin-Shaped Cheeseball

You will need:

• 2 blocks Organic Valley Cream Cheese
• ⅓ green onion, finely chopped
• ½ green organic pepper, finely chopped (Save the stem)
• 4 Tablespoons Weaver’s Ranch Dressing Mix
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions: 

1. With a mixer or spoon, mix cream cheese until fluffy. 
2. Add Ranch Dressing Mix, green pepper, onion, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and mix well.
3. Spread out a large sheet of plastic cling wrap and sprinkle with ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Top with cheeseball mixture. 
5. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese onto the cheeseball on the tops and sides and wrap it up with plastic cling wrap.
6. Two layers of cling wrap work well. You will want it to be well wrapped and wrapped up tightly. Now you’ll want to wrap it up with 4 large rubber bands and making sure there’s no cheeseball squeezing out.
7. Place the cheeseball in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours but overnight is best. As it sets the flavor gets better and this will help form the pumpkin shape.
8. Once it’s ready, cut off the rubber bands and carefully remove the plastic cling wrap.
9.  Add the green pepper stem on top by gently pushing it down.
