MINI PUMPKIN SHAPED CHEESEBALLS

Category: Cheeseballs

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cups finely chopped roasted red peppers
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Paprika, for dusting
2 whole green onions

Beat cream cheese, red peppers, garlic and cayenne until well blended. Stir in cheddar cheese. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.

Roll into 1-inch balls and then coat in paprika. Make indents in the side of each one with a knife to make a pumpkin shape (refrigerate longer if needed before shaping with a knife).

Slice green onion into 1-inch pieces (green parts only). Slice each piece in half lengthwise. Roll each half back into a circular shape and stick into the top of the cheese ball. Refrigerate until serving.
