Pumpkin Cheese Ball


My coworker had made this super simple and delicious cheese ball shaped like a pumpkin for our Halloween potluck, so when tasked with bringing an appetizer to our family's Thanksgiving party, I immediately asked my friend for the recipe.  I was surprised with how simple it was to put together the night before, and when I handed over the Dorito covering task to Christian and my mom on Thanksgiving, it turned out absolutely perfect.  If you're looking for something simple, cute, and surprisingly delicious for a fall holiday party, look no further than this perfectly themed appy :)
