Endless Halloween: Zombie Brain Cheese Ball

Must. Eat. Brains.

So, last week I shared my Zombie Head Brownie Bites.  And you know what?  Still got zombies on tha brain.

Here’s another super fantastic idea to incorporate into your Halloween parties.  Bonus—it is very easy and delicious.

Easy Zombie Brain Cheese Ball

8 oz cream cheese
2 small logs (or one large log) soft goat cheese (chevre)—room temperature
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Pinch of garlic powder, salt & peper
Red pepper jelly

Mix cream cheese, half of the goat cheese, parmesan and seasonings until combined.  Form it in an oval shape and refrigerate for 30 minutes.  I used this bowl.

Could have been more narrow & brain-like, but live and learn..

Mix the remainder of the goat cheese with ½ cup of red pepper jelly and put it in a piping bag.

Pipe the brain “swirly-dos” on the oval.  Is my use of medical terminology intimidating? (Ha ha.  I kid.)

Garnish with red pepper jelly and serve with crackers.

Easy peasy..and brainy.
