I love making fun food for Halloween get togethers like this fun Jalapeno Ranch Skeleton Cheeseball.
This cheeseball is a play on my Jalapeno Bacon Ranch Cheeseball but made in skeleton form. I serve it flat on a wood cutting board and serve it with crackers, veggies, and more.

How to Make a Fun Skeleton Cheeseball
For this fun recipe, you really only need a handful of ingredients; however, you can always add more stuff to it if you want. Feel free to play around with it!
- Cream Cheese at room temperature
- diced jalapenos
- shredded cheddar cheese
- ranch seasoning
- Bacon bits
- salt and pepper
- cheese stick
- green olives
- crackers
Start by adding the cream cheese and cheddar cheese to a small bowl. Add in the diced jalapeno, ranch seasoning, bacon bits, and then stir to combine.

Once you get the mixture all mixed up, dump it on the cutting board and mold it to look like the shape of a skeleton.
Cut up a mozzarella cheese stick to create teeth and then slice green olives with pimentos to make the spooky eyes.
Line the crackers or veggies around the outside and use it as a centerpiece for your spooky Halloween party.
