Snowman Cheeseball


  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheeseball:

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing mix (or your favorite seasoning blend)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits (optional but adds great flavor)

For the Snowman Decoration:

  • 1 small carrot (for the nose)
  • 2 black olives (for the eyes)
  • 1 red bell pepper (for the scarf)
  • 12 pretzel sticks (for the arms)
  • Assorted crackers and veggies (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Cheeseball Mixture

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing mix, green onions, and bacon bits. Mix until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
  2. Shape the Snowman: Use your hands to form the cheese mixture into two balls — one larger (for the body) and one smaller (for the head). Place the smaller ball on top of the larger ball to create the snowman shape.

Decorate Your Snowman

  1. Create the Face: Cut a small piece of the carrot for the snowman’s nose and press it into the center of the smaller cheese ball. Add two black olives for the eyes.
  2. Add the Scarf: Slice the red bell pepper into strips and wrap them around the snowman’s “neck” for a festive scarf.
  3. Make the Arms: Break the pretzel sticks into small pieces and place them on each side of the snowman for arms.
  4. Finalize the Look: Optional — add a small piece of pepper or another veggie for the mouth or buttons down the front.

Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate: Place your snowman cheeseball in the fridge for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  2. Serve: Once chilled, serve with crackers, sliced vegetables, or your favorite dipping items. Gather around and enjoy the fun!
