Instead of sitting in a field waiting for The Great Pumpkin to appear perhaps Linus should have been inside making The Great Pumpkin Cheese Ball! No party is complete without some form of cheese and it’s always better when it’s rolled in nacho cheese Doritos. This is the perfect touch to any Halloween spread.
To make it you need 16oz cream cheese, 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar, 4 tablespoons chopped white onion, 2 tablespoons salsa, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 green pepper, nacho cheese Doritos, and 1 ½ teaspoons diced jalapeno.

On a flat surface, crush the nacho cheese Doritos. Remove the mixture from the plastic wrap and roll it through the crushed chips until completely covered. Remove the stem from the green pepper and place it on top of the cheese ball. Serve with black tortilla chips.
