Mini “Pumpkin” Cheese Balls

Ingredients

• 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
• ¼ cups Finely Chopped Roasted Red Peppers
• ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
• 1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
• Paprika, For Dusting
• 2 whole Green Onions

Preparation Instructions

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.
