Forget the trick, everyone at our birthday
dinner club thought Betty Krenger’s Nacho Pumpkin-shaped Cheese Ball was a
treat! She found the recipe in a magainze and bought the Halloween colored
chips locally.
It’s the perfect Halloween appetizer or
snack. But, if you saved some of the orange chips, it could be made for
Thanksgiving too, and served with either regular tortilla chips or with crackers.
