Ingredients

2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese softened
1 (8-ounce) package pepper jack cheese shredded
1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning
1 (1-ounce) packet ranch dressing mix
1 baby carrot
10 whole peppercorns
1 jalapeño
2 rosemary sprigs
crackers to taste, of your choice, for serving

Directions

In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, the pepper jack cheese, the Cajun seasoning, and the ranch dressing mix and mix to combine.
Divide the cheese mixture into 2 balls, 1 made from about 1/4 of the cheese mixture and 1 from the remaining 3/4.
Wrap and chill the cheese balls for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
Unwrap the cheese balls.
On a serving plate, add the larger cheese ball.
Place the smaller cheese ball on top of the larger cheese ball, creating a snowman.
Slice the tip off of the baby carrot.
Press the tip of the baby carrot into the top cheese ball, creating a carrot nose for the snowman.
Using the whole peppercorns, create eyes, a mouth, and buttons for the "snowman."
Cut the top with the stem off of the jalapeño.
Place the top of the jalapeño with the stem facing up on the top cheese ball, creating a hat for the snowman. Reserve the remaining jalapeño for a separate use or discard.
Place the rosemary sprigs in the body of the snowman to create arms.
Serve with the crackers.
