Cheesy Bunny


I'm not going to lie, I think this cheese ball bunny is kinda creepy. It's clever, to be sure, but not appetizing. Now if it were made out of popcorn... Still, the recipe is good.

Easter Bunny Cheese Spread
Serves 32
Ingredients:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
2 packages (2-1/2 ounces each) thinly sliced deli beef
12 pimiento-stuffed olives, chopped
2 teaspoons dill weed
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 green onions
6 miniature jelly beans
1 small carrot
Fresh vegetables and/or crackers
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, beef, olives, dill, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. Finely chop two green onions; add to cream cheese mixture. On a large platter, form cheese mixture into a bunny shape. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Insert jelly beans for bunny's eyes, nose and buttons. Cut carrot in half lengthwise; place cut side up above head for ears. Cut green portion of remaining onion into six 2-in.-long pieces; place next to nose for whiskers. Serve with vegetables and/or crackers. Makes 4 cups.
