Pumpkin Shaped Cheese Ball

Ingredients

16-ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (such as Colby and Monterey Jack)
2 Tablespoons red and/or yellow bell peppers, minced (reserve the stem of the bell pepper)
2 Tablespoons scallions, minced
1/4 cup Stonewall Kitchen Mild Tomato Salsa
1 bag Stonewall Kitchen Yellow Tortilla Chips

Place the cream cheese, shredded cheese, bell peppers, scallions, and Mild Tomato Salsa in the bowl of a free stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer). Mix on medium speed until ingredients are uniformly mixed.
Shape cheese mixture into the shape of a small pumpkin. Crush some of the Yellow Tortilla Chips in a plastic bag using a rolling pin. Press crushed chips over all sides of the pumpkin shaped cheese ball. Top with the stem of the bell pepper. Serve cheese ball with remaining Yellow Tortilla Chips or crackers.
