Fun and Festive Pumpkin Shaped Cheese Ball! An easy and delicious make-ahead halloween appetizer.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Boursin Cheese Round. I used the shallot and chive version, however, the garlic and herb would be delicious as well!
• Salted butter. Unsalted would work as well, just add a pinch of salt to the cheese ball mixture.
• Grated parmesan.
• Sharp white cheddar cheese. I prefer to buy a high quality block of white cheddar and grate it myself. Good Cheese makes a difference in this recipe!
• Garlic. I prefer grating fresh garlic, however, you could always use garlic powder as well– about 1 teaspoon.
• Chives. I like using chives here, but you could always use parsley, dill, basil, etc!
• Nacho cheese chips. I used the Late July Brand, but anything orange and crunchy will work.
• Stem from a small pumpkin.
• Crackers, crostini’s, grapes, nuts, for serving.
