A festive and creamy Pumpkin Cheese Ball appetizer shaped like a pumpkin, coated with crushed tortilla chips, and finished with a celery or pretzel stem. Perfect for fall gatherings, Halloween, or Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups crushed tortilla chips
  • 1 celery stick or pretzel stick (for the stem)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
  2. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Shape the cheese mixture into a round ball.
  4. Roll the cheese ball in crushed tortilla chips until fully coated and pumpkin-like in color.
  5. Insert a celery stick or pretzel stick into the top as the stem.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and firm before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix in chopped green onions, diced jalapeños, or a splash of hot sauce.
  • Swap tortilla chips with crushed cheese crackers, pretzels, or finely chopped nuts for variation.
  • Store leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Let the cheese ball sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for easier spreading.
