Servings: persons

2 1/2 teaspoons butter
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups shredded aged Cheddar cheese
1 cup finely crushed cheese-flavored crackers (such as Pepperidge Farm(R) Goldfish)
12 pretzel sticks
1 small bunch fresh parsley, or to taste

1
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Add garlic and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until garlic just starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove from heat. Transfer garlic mixture to a bowl. Add cream cheese, green onions, and garlic salt. Beat using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Cover and refrigerate until firm enough to handle, about 30 minutes.
2
Shape chilled cheese mixture into golf-ball-sized balls. Roll each ball in crushed cheese cracker crumbs and slightly flatten the bottom. Press 1/2 a pretzel stick into the top. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture.
3
Spread parsley out on a serving plate and place mini cheeseball pumpkins on top, leaving enough room in between for parsley to show through.
