Ingredients

16 oz block of Cream Cheese
1 cup Colby Jack Shredded Cheese
¾ cup Green Onions chopped
½ cup Pepperoni diced
½ cup Salami diced
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
½ cup Walnuts finely chopped
1 Cherry Tomato with 1 Toothpick to secure
2 Pretzel sticks
2 Chocolate Chips
Crackers for dipping

Instructions

Prep: Start by chopping the green onion into small pieces. Then, dice the pepperoni and salami into small chunks as well.
Assemble dip: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, green onions, pepperoni, salami, and Italian seasonings. Mix the ingredients together well using a fork or even an electric mixer, you want the cream cheese to be pliable and all the ingredients well combined.
Next, place the cheese mixture onto a serving plate and mold it into a triangle. I typically do this with clean hands, you can also wear simple plastic gloves if you want to keep the cheese off your hands.
Proceed to cover the entire surface of the cheese dip with the chopped walnuts. I find it easiest to stick the walnuts to the cheese in small handfuls, press them on gently but firm enough they stick into the cheese.
After that, add the pretzel rod for antlers, the chocolate chips for the eyes, and the cherry tomato for the nose. Use a toothpick to hold the tomato in place if needed. Serve with crackers and enjoy!
