100% would make again

"My annual Halloween bash wouldn't be the same without the now famous Mummy Man," says Rebecca Eremich of Barberton, Ohio. "When kids first see Mummy Man, they wonder if they can actually eat him. I assure them they can, and we hack off a foot or an arm with some crackers."

I made this cute guy for a party. And guess what? A guest brought the same thing! lol, but her's was made with Brie Cheese instead. They both were quite popular and gobbled up!

This turned out super cute and recieved lots of compliments. Unfortunately the grocery store I went to said they only sell cheese logs around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I let a cheese ball sit out for a bit to get soft then shaped it into legs, arms, the body and head and it worked just fine. I cut a tiny smile out of a slice of cheese for the mouth instead of using the pimiento.

I made the mummy for my office snack day. It was such a hit my friend asked me to make one and bring to her house 2 days later on Halloween. Quick, Easy and a BIG HIT.

I made this last year & it came out exactly like the picture. It was so cute & no one believed it was all made of cheese. Everyone loved it.
