Instructions

Beat cream cheese, sour cream and ranch seasoning until combined.

Add shredded cheddar and crushed Cheetos^® Paws^® and beat until fluffy.

Stir in green onions and bacon.

Transfer mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap. Mold into an oval shape that is 1½ inches high by 4½ inches across. Wrap tightly and refrigerate at least one hour.

Just before serving, unwrap cheese form and roll in crushed Cheetos^® Paws^®, pressing to coat completely.

Place form on a serving plate. Use a spoon to shape a paw print on the surface.

Serve immediately with a side of Cheetos^® Paws^®.
