Ingredients

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup red food coloring
• 1/4 cup honey
• Crackers, for serving

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Shape the cheese mixture into a rough human-shaped figure, resembling a flayed man. Place it on a serving plate and use your hands to smooth out the surface.
3. In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, red food coloring, and honey. Spread the mixture all over the cheese ball, covering it completely to resemble bloody flesh.
4. Take the sliced almonds and press them all over the cheese ball, making them stick into the flesh-like coating. Start from the bottom and work your way up to cover the entire surface.
5. Refrigerate the Flayed Man Cheese Ball for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together and for the cheese ball to firm up.
6. Before serving, remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Serve with crackers and enjoy!
