Creepy Peepers


Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it gives us the chance to be whatever we want to be for one day! I also love it because it makes entertaining so easy. Stores have countless items to decorate the house, costumes are readily available practically anywhere, and the food ideas are endless. And they set up temporary stores dedicated only to Halloween! What could be better or easier?
Since adults immediately gather in the kitchen, we need the table to look just as ghoulish as the haunted house set up for the kids. This recipe is great because of its taste, and it plays into the creepy part of this holiday. Before you know it, you’ll have people asking: Jeepers, creepers, where’d you get them Creepy Peepers?

Creepy Peepers

Combine first 2 ingredients; chill 2 hours. Roll cream cheese mixture into 1-inch balls; press 1 olive slice on each ball to make an eye. Arrange on a serving platter; sprinkle with paprika. Makes 10-12 servings.

Tips:

  • Use green pimento-stuffed olives for a different look.
  • Serve on a fun, Halloween-themed plate with an assortment of whole olives.
  • These are best served with a sturdy cracker such as Wheat Thins® or Triscuits®.
