Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 sheet Plastic wrap or aluminum foil
  • 1 Cookie sheet or shallow pan
  • 1 Serving platter

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz soft cream cheese
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ⅛-1/4 8 oz packet ranch dressing mix
  • Green onion
  • 3 chocolate chips
  • sliced almonds

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips and almonds.
  • Mix well with a food processor or a spoon until mixed thoroughly.
  • Set in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil until mixture can be formed. Approximately 1-2 hours.
  • Then place the mixture on a cookie sheet or shallow pan and form into a hedgehog shape. One way is to form it into the shape of a football and flattening the bottom side of it. Then on one end round it out a little bit.

  • Add two chocolate chips for the eyes and one for the nose.
  • Place on a serving platter, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
