  • 3 cups orange cheese puffs
  • 2 lbs cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 bell pepper with a long stem
  • Crackers, for serving

Instructions

This adorable cheese ball gets its pumpkin-orange coloring from ground-up cheese puffs and the stem is cleverly stolen from a bell pepper.

  1. Put the cheese puffs in a food processor and process until finely ground. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Combine the cream cheese, Cheddar, chives, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and mix to combine. Mold the mixture into a ball, pressing the top of the ball with your hand to flatten it. With the tip of a butter knife, carve lines down the sides to resemble a pumpkin.
  3. Roll the cheese ball in the ground cheese puffs. Remove the entire bell pepper stem with a paring knife and put it on top of the cheeseball as the pumpkin stem. Seed and slice the bell pepper. Serve the cheeseball on a plate with crackers and slices of bell pepper.

What You’ll Need

5 Minutes

  • Mandarin oranges or clementines / cuties
  • something green for the stem- examples: the tip of a matcha flavored Poky stick, a green Tic-Tac, or a green Mike & Ike candy.

Instructions

These oranges don’t even require a recipe card, they’re SO stinking easy! Just take a mandarin orange, peel it, and place the “stem” inside. And your ready for a festive but healthy quick snack!

The oranges are ok to leave at room temperature (or pack into a lunch) for 5-6 hours but after that they’ll start to dry out without their peel!
