I love making fun food for Halloween get-togethers like this fun Jalapeno Ranch Skeleton Cheeseball. For more spooky food inspiration, check out my list of The Best Halloween Recipes.

This cheeseball is a play on my Jalapeno Bacon Ranch Cheeseball, but made in skeleton form. I serve it flat on a wooden 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, and bacon bits, and then stir to combine.

Once you get the mixture all mixed up, dump it on the wood 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.
