Cheddar TipSelect sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

Turned out pretty well and made a great impression. I made it two-faced w/ a vegetarian version on one side (used pecans instead of bacon - I actually liked it better than the original). I also cut half-moons from a thick slice of white American cheese for the eyes instead of the parsnip and just used another pepperoncini for the nose. Next time I would:- season the whipped cream cheese- use black-colored whipped cream cheese instead of chopped olives for hair (olives were pretty overpowering)- use more of that black-colored cream cheese to make the uni-brow / scars (the sweet decorator icing tasted weird w/ the savory cheese ball)
