Halloween Cheese Skull
My neighbor was having a "Witches Night" Halloween party, and I decided to make this version of a charcuterie board for the occasion. It was creepy enough to scare the guests but tasty enough to make them come back for more. —Cindy Nerat, Menominee, Michigan
Ingredients
- 8 ounces bacon strips, chopped
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions
-
1In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.

2In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; stir in sour cream, garlic salt and pepper until well blended. Stir in cheddar, green onions, pecans and cooled cooked bacon. Transfer to a serving plate or dish. Using an offset spatula, spread into skull shape, about 2-in. thick. Place two mozzarella pieces for eyes.
