Spooky Spider Cheeseball Recipe for Halloween Hauntings

Food should be fun, I say.  And sometimes weird, freaky or scary. Like on Halloween, for example.

In  Halloweens past we have whipped up a jack-o-lantern cheeseball by crushing nacho cheese Doritos and rolling the cheeseball in the crumbs.

This year, I wanted to attempt an all edible spider cheeseball, but was at a loss as to what would be savory and black and edible. Then, I was cleaning out my spice cupboard a few weeks ago and came across a huge jar of black sesame seeds that have been lurking at the back of the top shelf for ages now. BINGO! Black sesame seeds are perfect, and look very spider-ish, I must say.

You can use your favorite cheeseball recipe and then just roll it in the seeds on a plate. Or, use our recipe below. Either way, I promise it will be the hit of the party.
