Halloween Party Treat

This is so adorable that I had to make it, whether it tasted great or not. I, along with some college pals, created another book club: Book to the Future. Since one can never discuss a book without treats or wine, we have an assignment-- mine was the snack. For my favorite holiday, I made this festive cheese ball. It was adorable as well as tasty.
