Let your kids use their imagination and decorate their snowman with colorful vegetables and fruit. They may want to leave a few under the tree for Santa to nibble. Ingredients:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix |
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard |
1 garlic clove, minced |
assorted decorations: small pitted ripe olives, pretzel sticks and sweet red and/or orange pepper |
assorted crackers and fresh vegetables |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the dressing mix, mustard and garlic; mix well. Shape into two balls, one slightly larger than the other. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2. Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. On a serving plate, stack the small cheese ball on top of the larger ball to make a snowman.
3. Cut ends from olives to make small circles; attach to snowman for eyes and buttons. Insert pretzel sticks for arms. Cut top hat from pepper; place on top of snowman. Trim pepper to make a nose; insert into face. Serve with crackers and vegetables. Yield: 2-2/3 cups.
