In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and ranch seasoning until evenly distributed.

Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese and bacon to the mixture. Stir until combined.

Place the cheese ball mixture on plastic wrap and form it into a ball.

Use the remaining cup of cheddar cheese to cover the cheese ball, pressing gently to

make sure it sticks.

Smoosh the top down a little to form the body of a chick.

Transfer the cheese ball to a serving plate or cutting board to decorate.

Add 2 sliced olives to the ball to make the chick’s eye. Press gently and they will stick.

Cut a baby carrot in half and use it as a nose.

Insert 3 baby carrots on each side of the bottom of the cheese ball to make feet.

Finally, cut a cracker in half and insert each half into the side of the cheese ball to make

wings.

Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. Serve with crackers, veggies or your

favorite dippers.
