Description
Crunchy, creamy, and creepily cute—perfectly poppable Halloween bites!
Ingredients
2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika (adds warmth and depth)
Salt & pepper to taste
1½ cups crushed black tortilla chips or crushed cheese crackers (for coating)
48 mini pretzel sticks (for spider legs)
24 small black olives or sliced olives (for eyes)
Optional: chopped green onions, jalapeños, or hot sauce for kick
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and seasoning until smooth and combined.
Chill mixture for 30 minutes until firm enough to roll.
Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in crushed tortilla chips or cracker coating.
Gently insert 4 pretzel sticks on each side to make spider legs.
Cut olives into tiny pieces and press into each ball to form spooky little eyes.
Chill until ready to serve or let come to room temp for a creamier texture.
