Directions
With a mixer, blend 16 ounces room-temperature cream cheese with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar, 3 tablespoons minced onion, 2 tablespoons salsa, 2 teaspoons ground cumin and 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno. Scoop onto plastic wrap and use the wrap to form the mixture into a 5-inch pumpkin-shaped ball; chill at least 2 hours. To serve, unwrap, roll in crushed nacho-flavored tortilla chips and press a bell pepper stem into the top.

Yummy & cute! I didn't make this recipe myself (not yet anyway. A neighbor brought it to a party we had. She said it was pretty easy, so I'm going to try it at our next family gathering. It is so festive and it tastes so good.
