Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese, (room temperature)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 Tablespoon minced onion
- 2 Tablespoon salsa
- 1 cup nacho cheese tortilla chips, (crushed)
- 1 green bell pepper, use stem
Instructions
- Blend together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, onion, and salsa.
- Scoop onto plastic wrap and use the wrap to form the mixture into a 5-inch pumpkin-shaped ball; chill at least 2 hours (I chilled mine over night). To serve, unwrap, roll in crushed nacho-flavored tortilla chips and press a bell pepper stem into the top.
- To make some pumpkin lines, I used some string, held it at the "pumpkin stem and pressed it into the pumpkin.
