Ingredients:

• 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• ½ cup pepperoni, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
• 8 mini pepperonis

Instructions:

1. Combine the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Mix until well blended.
2. Form the mixture into three small balls (I used 2 tablespoons of mixture for each ball), and one large ball. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour.
3. When ready to serve, roll each ball in shredded Italian blend cheese until fully coated.
4. Use toothpicks to secure one small ball on the top of the large ball to make the bunny’s tail. Then, place the remaining two balls on the bottom of the large ball to make the bunny’s feet.
5. Press four mini pepperonis into the small balls on the bottom of the cheese ball to decorate the bunny’s feet.
6. Enjoy!
