In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder, along with ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix on low speed for another minute until thoroughly integrated.

With moistened hands, shape the creamy cheese mixture into a ball approximately 6 inches in diameter. Place on plastic wrap to chill.

Wrap the cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Once chilled, unwrap the cheese ball and place it on a decorative platter. Slice black olives to create Jack Skellington's eyes and mouth.

Surround your Spooky Skellington Cheese Ball with a variety of crunchy crackers and fresh veggie sticks.
