TURKEY CHEESE BALL THANKSGIVING APPETIZER

Steps:

• Remove pre-made cheese ball from packaging and flip upside-down. Scoop out a small amount of cheese from the bottom of your cheese ball and set aside. This extra cheese will serve as the "glue" for assembling your turkey cheese ball.
• Flip cheese ball over place in the center of a round serving plate.
• Poke one pretzel stick into the front of the cheese ball to be your turkey's "neck."
• Take about 8-10 pretzel sticks and poke them into the back of your turkey in a fan shape. These will be your turkey's feathers.
• Use some of the cheese you set aside earlier to attach your candy corn onto the top of the pretzel at the front of your cheese ball. Then use more of the cheese to attach the edible candy eyes to this pretzel as well.
• Surround your turkey cheese ball with crackers and enjoy!

THANKSGIVING TURKEY CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Soften cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Cream the cream cheese and add in shredded cheddar by hand or with a food processor. Stir and cream until both cheeses are thoroughly mixed together. Place mixture into a piece of plastic wrap; form into a ball; place into the refrigerator for a few hours to firm it up. Remove from fridge and roll it in chopped nuts but keep the nice round shape. Place pretzels to make the tail of the turkey. Use a little chocolate melt to "glue" the round chocolate candy to about a 4 or 5 inch piece of Slim Jim. It could bit tricky to get this to stay in place, so you might need to place it in the freezer in order to harden it up faster. Glued on the eyes and "beak" candy corn; place in the freezer for a few minutes. After inserting the "neck" Slim Jim into the cheese ball, place the entire turkey on a platter/tray/plate and into the refrigerator for overnight.
