Recipe Tips

Mix first 5 ingredients until blended. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Divide cheese mixture into 3 different-size balls (1 small, 1 medium and 1 large). Coat with Parmesan. Arrange in line on serving plate to resemble a snowman lying down. (Largest ball should be at bottom of plate for the snowman's base, and the smallest ball should be at the top for the snowman's head.)

Decorate with all remaining ingredients except crackers to resemble photo. Serve with the crackers.
