Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Using clean hands or gloves, knead the mixture for 2-3 minutes until well integrated and smooth.
  3. Form the mixture into a ball shape and flatten it into a ghost-like figure, about 1.5 inches thick.
  4. Coat the entire cheeseball generously with shredded mozzarella, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Cut black olives into slices and arrange them on the cheeseball to create eyes and a mouth.
  6. Place the cheeseball on a platter surrounded by crackers and chips. Let it chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving.
