Ingredients
Cream cheese
Sharp white cheddar
Goat cheese
Black pepper
Sweet chili pepper preserves
When you're hosting a Halloween dinner party, aesthetics matter. This appetizer fits the theme without being goofy, and will pair well with pretty much any cracker, pretzel or dippable vegetable.
In a bowl, mix one block of cream cheese, two cups of shredded sharp white cheddar and two logs of goat cheese. Sprinkle with black pepper and stir. On a serving platter, form the cheese mixture into a ball -- or, if you're feeling ambitious, a spooky shape -- and spoon sweet chili pepper preserves over the entire sphere.
Pile your crackers, pretzels and vegetables around it and set this out before your spooky meal.
