CHEESE BALL RECIPE

Steps:

• To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and taco seasoning. Use an electric handheld mixer and beat the ingredients together until they're well blended.
• Add the green onions and stir them into the cheese mixture using a spoon until they're well combined. Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for several hours.
• Scoop 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture and shape into a ball for the spider's head. Place on your serving plate.
• Set 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture aside. Then, shape the remaining cheese into a flatter, oval shape that will become the spider's body. Attach this to the spider's head on your serving plate.
• Sprinkle poppy seeds all over the spider cheese ball. Use a paper towel to brush off any excess seeds from your serving plate.
• Adorn spider's head with 2 eyeball sprinkles for the eyes. For the legs, break each pretzel rod in half, sticking half into the spider's body (3 legs per side). Spread some of the reserved cheese from earlier onto the remaining pretzel half and attach at a slanted angle to the pretzel half that's in the spider's body.
• Serve with crackers on the side.
