“This post/recipe originally appeared on my main blog BigBearsWife.com for  #HalloweenTreatsWeek”

This post/recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

There is no doubt that I love The Nightmare Before Christmas. I am a Halloween loving girl and Jack Skellington with his crew of spooky HalloweenTown friends make my spooky heart flutter! So, when it comes to making Halloween desserts and Halloween treats,  also make sure to include him!

On my blog other, BigBearsWife.com, you can find Jack Skellington Macarons, Jack Skellington Rice Krispie Treats, Jack Skellington Dipped Oreos,   Jack Skellington Chocolate Apples and now this amazing Jack Skellington Dessert Cheese Ball!

What you need for a Jack Skellington Dessert Cheese Ball:

• cream cheese, softened
• butter, softened
• powdered sugar
• mini chocolate chips
• vanilla extract
• sweetened shredded coconut
• Chocolate Candy Melts

How to keep the cheese ball shape:

While the cheese ball is in the fridge chilling it can loose its shape if you don’t wrap it, but I like to go a step further and make sure it really keeps the shape by sitting it down into a bowl.

So, once your cheese ball mixture is ready to go into the fridge, lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and spoon mixture into the center.

Roll and fold cheese ball into a  ball, wrapping it in the plastic wrap. Place into a bowl to help it hold its shape.

Place wrapped ball into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight)

What to cover the cheese ball in:

I choose shredded coconut for this  Cheese Ball but you could also try covering it in white chocolate chips instead!

When you’re ready to serve, just remove cheese ball from fridge and remove plastic wrap.

Place on serving place and cover in shredded coconut.

Melt Chocolate Candy Melts according to package.

Let cool slightly and pour into a piping bag.

Snip a very small hole at the end of the piping bag and use the candy melts to draw Jack’s face onto the cheese ball.

What to serve with the Jack Skellington Dessert Cheese Ball:

You can really serve anything you want with this dessert l but I picked out these bone shaped graham crackers and they were perfect! I mean they go perfect with the “Bone Daddy” dessert haha.

I just dipped them in the chocolate candy melts and then drizzled them with some white chocolate candy melts to make them match Jack!

I love how this dessert turned out and I know he will be making an appearance at out Halloween dinner party this year!

I think that trail mix and snack mix are the easiest things to make for a party. This Ghostly Sweet and Salty Snack Mix is perfect for any Halloween party that’s happening this year!

It’s easy to toss together and it’s great for snacking before the party, during the party and it’s great to bag up to send home with friends and family after the party!

For this fun Ghostly Sweet and Salty Snack Mix I used these ghost sugar candy decorations from Wilton to create some of the ghost pretzels for this snack mix.

I also used some of Wilton‘s little candy eye calls to make the other little ghost pretzels for this mix. Both turned out some super cute ghosts pretzels for this snack. 

Oh my gosh, and take a look at these sprinkles from Sweets and Treats Shop. It’s their Sweet Sprinkles Mix: Monster Mash and I’m in LOVE with this sprinkle mix

I used the sprinkle mix to decorate candy-coated cereal pieces and I think it gave it just the right amount of Halloween color pop! I love orange, purple and green together when it comes to Halloween.

Then to pack the Ghostly Sweet and Salty Snack Mix up to send off to my family I used these fun Trick or Treat boxes that  Wilton sent over. 

Aren’t they the cutest!?! I love the little window so you can see the Ghostly Sweet and Salty Snack Mix inside.

I’m not sure why I don’t make more cheese balls at home. I love them when we have them at parties but I just overlook them when I’m cooking a home or hosting my own party!

I need to fix that! Cheese balls are super tasty and a must have at southern parites!

A cheese ball that looks like a goblin! It’s so cute…I mean spooky!  – Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

This little cheese ball is actually a Cheese Ball Goblin! He’s ready for Halloween and ready for you to serve him up with a few crackers!

Cheese Ball Goblin

Stacey says,

This cheese ball has tons of great flavor and is a family favorite.  My mom has been making this for as long as I can remember.  It’s one of those things that everyone asks for us to bring to family events.  If you’ve not tried it, this is your opportunity.  And turning it into a spooky goblin is super easy!

Isn’t it fun to take savory ingredients and turn them into fun Halloween appetizers and meals? This Frankenguac Frankenstine Guacamole is the perfect example!

Everything that goes perfectly with guac and chips turned into a creepy monster for your next Halloween party!

This guacamole looks just like Frankenstein – Here we go with Frankenguac! – Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

Even if you’re not having a Halloween party you can still make this fun Frankenguac for an appetizer for dinner! Maybe you could serve it right before you serve up Eyeball Pasta for dinner and Frankenstein Rice Krispie treats for dessert!

You can make your own homemade guacamole for this Frankenguac or you can use store bought! Either one will work perfectly for this!

What’s also great about this Frankenguac is that you can make it any size for any amount of people. If you’re having a big party you could make 1 giant Frankenguac or maybe a few smaller Frankenguacs to place around the table!

If you’re making this for dinner or to serve the family right before dinner you could make a small version!

FRANKENGUAC

Crystal says,

Here’s an easy one for your next spook-tacular get together… Frankenguac!  Halloween… birthday parties… or just because.

Grab a plate and set these Buffalo Meatball Pumpkins out on the table for everyone to munch on while you’re finishing up the main course of your Fall or Halloween dinner!

I love all things Buffalo and the pretzel sticks on top are perfect stems– Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

Buffalo flavored snacks and appetizers are so good.  I think that buffalo goes great with chicken and with meatballs, plus buffalo dip is always a winner!

That’s why I knew I wanted to share these Buffalo Meatball Pumpkins from Tonia over at TheGunnySack.com!

You would probably even turn these into little Buffalo Jack0-O-Lanterns if you used some black olives to cut out little triangles for faces! They might stick to the Buffalo Meatball Pumpkins, I’m not sure! If you give it a try, let me know!

Buffalo Meatball Pumpkins

Tonia says,

 I’m excited to share these Buffalo Meatball Pumpkins that are perfect for serving at fall celebrations from harvest parties and football parties to Halloween and Thanksgiving! They have a mild buffalo sauce with a pretzel stem and a parsley leaf.

Monster foods for a Halloween party are always a winner, Monster foods for a Halloween party that you can decorate and make your own are the BEST!

I’m also crazy about meatball subs and King’s Hawaiian rolls so I’m in LOVE with these cute little Monster Meatball Sliders!

Hawaiian Rolls, Monster, and Halloween, oh my! …YES! – Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

You know that your Halloween plans are going to involve a TON of Halloween candy and Halloween desserts so let’s make some savory little sandwiches for everyone!

These Monster Meatball Sliders are still spooky for Halloween but not packed with all the candy sugar.

Monster Meatball Sliders

Melissa says,

 To most kids, this time of year brings about dreaming of the fun they’ll have going door to door dressed as their favorite characters and collecting candy from friends and family. Food is the last thing on their minds. I’d like to show you how you can host a creative feast for your cute little monsters giving them something to eat before they head out to collect and indulge on all things sweet. Kids always enjoy craft projects and this is one they get to eat when they’re finished.

I’m totally loving these savory Meatball Mummies! I know there have been a ton of hot dog mummies around the Internet but these are made with meatballs and I love them!

A few plates of these Meatball Mummies on the Halloween dinner table and all the little mummies tummies will be happy!

Meatball Mummies are the types of recipes that I love to make for parties. Of course, I like making super fancy and 100% from scratch recipes sometimes but I LOVE making recipes that use shortcuts like the frozen meatballs that Holly used to make these!

Sometimes us busy moms just need something that’s awesome without having to spend hours in the kitchen!

Right?

Shortcuts like the frozen meatballs mean that we have more time to spend with the family and I’m 100% for that!

Check out how she got the meatballs to stay in place while she wrapped them and how she made those awesome mummy eyes over on her blog with the link below!

Meatball Mummies

Holly says,

These adorable spider cupcakes are so easy to make!  You can use any cupcakes for these little guys including your favorite homemade recipe or a boxed mix!  I like to use chocolate because I like the dark colors but they’d be adorable on red velvet too!
