I can’t believe how easy this recipe is. You just mix 3 ingredients, rolld them into the crushed cheese crackers and top with a clove stem to make it look like pumpkins. The ranch mix gives the cheese a delicious flavor with spices (and who doesn;t love ranch). Serve them with crackers and you have the perfect cheese ball!

If you’re like me, cheese is the way to start (or end) any meal. Pairing this with some wine is the perfect treat! This recipe is great for adults and kids – it’s a crowd pleaser!

8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
