directions
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, green onions, hot sauce and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. With a rubber spatula, stir until fully combined. Shape into a ball and refrigerate until ready to decorate and serve.
Shape cheese mixture into a skull and press the olives into the cheese ball to form hollowed-out eyes, with the pimientos facing out. For the mouth, place 4 almond slices in for the top teeth, then 4 more underneath for the bottom. Make 2 indents above the mouth for nostrils, or press the black olive pieces into the cheese ball for nostrils. Serve with the crackers and vegetables.
