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’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!

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!
