Yummy Mummy Cheese Spread

I found this in my Oct/Nov issue of Taste of Home. I wish I was having a Halloween party so I could make him! Maybe one of you will make him and let me know what you think. The only difficult part might be piping the bandages on him.

The creator won $100 in the Taste of Home 'Frightfully Fun Foods' contest.

Here is what she says about her recipe:
"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."


Recipe

2 port wine cheese logs (12 ounces each)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 Tbs milk
2 whole peppercorns
1 pimiento strip

Cut cheese logs into pieces for mummy's head, body, arms and legs; arrange on a serving plate.

In small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and milk.

Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert basket weave tip #47.

Pipe rows across the mummy, creating bandages.

Add peppercorns for eyes and pimiento strip for mouth.

Chill until serving.

Yield: 1 cheese log. Servings: 24
Ready in: 30 minutes
