Calories 107 kcal
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos paprika, and black sesame seeds
- 12 pretzel sticks snapped in half
- 24 leaves fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Assorted crackers for serving
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic and onion powder, and black pepper.
Cover and chill for at least an hour.
Divide the cheese into small balls (about ping pong ball sized).
On 3 separate plates, arrange the crushed Doritos, paprika, and black sesame seeds.
Roll each ball in a coating and set aside.
To make the balls look like pumpkins, use a chopstick to press ridges into the sides of the balls, 4 or 5 times, evenly around the outside.
Stick half a pretzel stick in the top of each for the stems. Add a small leaf of parsley for garnish.
Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve with assorted crackers.
