What do you think of this Pumpkin Cheeseball? What are you or your kids dressing up as for Halloween this year?
This is such a fun idea for an appetizer for a Holiday Party! Love a good cheeseball!
I looooooved this! First of all, it's delicious. Second of all, it's so cute! I actually divided it into 4 parts and made 4 small ones for me and the kids to have individually - it was great.
I made the Pumpkin Cheese Ball for a fall gathering, and it was such a cute and festive appetizer! Not only did it look like a real pumpkin, but the flavors were incredible.
I have never been to any party or holiday without a cheeseball. So this pumpkin shape is so perfect. I LOVE the Doritos on the outside.
WTF is "shredded cheese" and "minced onion"?! Surely you use a cheese-grater and make grated cheese. 'Minced onion' is put in a blender, or diced with a knife?
These are very strange terms.
Hi there! It sounds like you're reading from somewhere outside the USA perhaps? I'd be happy to clarify these terms.
1. Grated Cheese: You can certainly grate your own cheese. However, when you're not melting it that is not really needed. Your choice your kitchen. 😉
2. Minced: This is found in the spice aisle. Or dice your own if you'd prefer.
That's the great thing about cooking, you can make recipes your own you don't have to follow everything that's part of the fun!
