Mexican Salsa Cheese Ball

Kind of cheesey (no pun intended!) for a fall appetizer but it was fun to make at Thanksgiving.  I mixed cream cheese, salsa, cumin, garlic, chili powder, green onion and shredded cheddar cheese and formed it in the shape of a pumpkin and then crushed some Doritos and put them all over the cheese ball.  Take the back of a knife and draw lines all around the pumpkin.  Then cut around the stem of a pepper and place it in the center and surround the cheese ball with Doritos or crackers.  The cheese ball can be made the day before and refrigerated, and just before serving put the crushed Doritos all around.
