Instructions

1. 1
   In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, onion powder, dry mustard and hot sauce until well combined.
2. 2
   Lay out a piece of plastic wrap. Place cream cheese mixture in a mound in the center and wrap. Refrigerate until firm enough to shape, about 2-3 hours.
3. 3
   Once chilled, place wrapped cheese mixture on a baking sheet. Mold chilled cheese mixture in plastic wrap into a pumpkin shape. Use fingers to create ridges on the sides. Once desired shape is achieved, remove plastic wrap.
4. 4
   Place cheddar cheese strips into the ridges. Insert pretzel rod half or sticks into the top of the cheese ball for a stem. Add basil for leaves. Serve with crackers.
