I saw a ready made bunny shaped cheeseball and decided I could come up with something to mimic it. My normal recipe is very orange and I wanted my bunny to be white. This is what I did, it was a nice change and everyone liked it.
Easter Bunny Cheeseball
16 oz. cream cheese
2 c. grated mozzarella cheese (1 1/2 c. for cheeseball and 1/2 c. to sprinkle over the bunny)
1/4 c. ranch dressing mix
2 T. fresh chives, snipped
1 t. granulated garlic
1/4 c. sour cream
slice of cheese cut in the shape of ears (I used cheddar)
dill pickle or olives cut for the eyes ( I used pickles)
Mix together in mixer, first 6 ingredients. Form onto platter, 2 balls, one for the head and a bigger one for the body. I used my biggest cookie scoop, 1 scoop for the head and 3 scoops for the body.
Sprinkle bunny with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Add the ears and eyes. Cover and chill until serving time.
Add crackers, and veggies at serving time. Next time I will put the bunny on a bed of lettuce with veggies and keep the crackers separate.
