Arrange on a platter with a bowl of picante sauce in the center for extra dipping.
Everyone loves these and they are so easy!
I did not list the amounts because it will depend upon how much you want to make. I usually start with 3 blocks cream cheese adding picante sauce until it tastes right and is a good spreading consistency.

No pumpkin in this cheese ball! But it is great to serve at a Halloween Party or Thanksgiving!

You can make this and serve in frosted mugs with a long handled ice tea spoon or you can serve with Tostito Scoops.

This is unbelievably good and impressive and so easy. You can do a little ahead…make the block of cheese then wrap in saran and place back in fridge. Don’t make too early or the dough won’t rise very nicely…then bake almost last minute, you want it still pretty warm to serve.
Serve with a knife for cutting and fancy crackers. Sliced, crisp apples also go very well with this.
