Spoon the cream cheese onto a piece of plastic wrap.
Shape the cheese into a ghost shape (it helps to have wet hands).
Seal the ghost tightly in the wrap.
Place the wrapped cheese in the fridge or freezer for 20 minutes.
Grate the cheddar cheese finely.
Arrange the ghost cheese ball on a serving platter.
Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
To make the eyes, slice a piece of cheddar or mozzarella.
Cut out the eyes with the oval-shaped cutter.
Use a metal straw and an olive for the pupils.
Cut a thin strip of olive for the mouth.
Arrange the details onto the ghost.
To make the hat, slice the bumpy top off a bell pepper.
Remove the pepper stem carefully.
Trim the pepper into a neat piece and cut a small indent to allow space for the stem.
Place the hat on top of the ghost.
Serve with crackers or chopped veggies.
