FOR an Easter party at our church, I created this fun rabbit centerpiece from a cheese ball recipe. My children enjoyed decorating the bunny. We used carrots for his ears and mini jelly beans for the eyes, nose and buttons. The cheesy spread has great flavor and is perfect for serving with crackers or veggies. My aunt, Clarice Paulson, who always serves this recipe on holidays, shared it with me.—Beth Paulson, De Pere, Wisconsin

I used dried beef (Hormel) instead of the regular beef and also used olives for buttons and half olives for eyes. Cut red pepper bow tie and used broccoli for grass and sprinkled radish rose among the broccoli. Took it to school and the teachers loved it. Carolakb
