Cook the bacon and allow to cool. Once cooled, cut into small diced pieces and set aside. While your bacon is cooking, allow the cream cheese to set out of the fridge for easier mixing.

Add all ingredients into a stand mixer and mix well. You can also use a bowl and a hand mixer if you have that instead.

Place combined ingredients onto wax paper and use hands to form a ball, making it as round as possible.

Place the ball onto the wax paper and add details of Jack’s face using black olives. Use 2 whole olives for the eyes and sliced olives cut in half for the mouth, alternating their positioning for a stitched look.

Place in refrigerator for one hour to allow the cheese ball to set.

Once set, remove from fridge and serve with homemade pumpkin tortilla chips or crackers.
