How To Make creepy spider cheese ball

  • 1
    Divide cheese ball into 1 large part and one smaller part and 8 1 inch balls.
  • 2
    Begin with the large part. Shape into the body of your spider. Set aside when you are happy with the shape.
  • 3
    Next take the smaller part and shape it into the head. Make sure the head is somewhat wide to make room for the eyes.
  • 4
    Roll the pieces in pecan chips and press together on a plate to make the head and body of the spider.
  • 5
    Next get 16 bread sticks. press two into the front side of the body near the head, make them kind of forward facing.
  • 6
    Press 2 bread sticks into the back part of the body and make them somewhat rear facing.
  • 7
    Next attach the other 8 pretzel sticks to the ones sticking out of the body using the 1 inch balls of cheese ball to finish the legs. dab a bit of cream cheese on the plate where you want the legs to sit, just to hold them in place.
  • 8
    Next press 8 boiler onions into the head for eyes.
  • 9
    Cut the black olive into 8 tiny pieces. attach to the center of each boiler onion with a dab of cream cheese to make eye balls.
  • 10
    Chill for several hours or over night. Serve with your favorite crackers.
