Halloween Cheese Ball Hand

Directions

1. In a food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar, and Hidden Valley Ranch dip mix. Pulse just until blended; avoid over-mixing. Set the mixture aside.
2. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface. Trace the outline of your hand and arm onto it with a pencil.
3. Cut out the traced shape. Place it pencil-side down on a large cutting board or serving platter.
4. Cut each mozzarella stick into pieces: four fingers and a thumb, matching the length of your own digits.
5. Wrap each mozzarella piece in a slice of prosciutto. Position each wrapped piece on the parchment outline where the corresponding finger or thumb would go.
6. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the palm and arm section of the parchment outline.
7. Using clean hands, shape the mixture to fill the palm and arm area smoothly.
8. Layer slices of prosciutto and ham over the entire cheese mixture (palm and arm). Tuck in any overhanging meat or trim it off neatly.
9. Cover the assembled hand with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to firm up.
10. Serve the Halloween Cheese Ball Hand with crackers alongside.
