Stir all of the cheese ball ingredients together.

Place 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl.

Scoop out a tablespoonful of the cheese ball mixture and drop it into the bowl of cheese.

Toss it around in the cheese, pressing the cheese onto it until the entire cheese ball is coated in shreds.

Repeat until you just have a tablespoon of filling remaining. You will need this to be the glue to hold the eyes and mouths onto your monsters.

Use a small round fondant cutter to cut eyes out of white cheese slices. Draw pupils onto the eyes using a black food coloring marker. For tips on using your markers go here.

Break pretzel sticks in half. Stick one, two or three sticks coming out of the top of each mini cheese ball.

Use some of the remaining cheese ball filling to attach the cheese slice eyes to the pretzel sticks.

Use the round fondant cutter to cut small little mouths out of the black olive slices.

Use some of the cheese ball filling to attach them to each monster.

Arrange on a serving platter and share with your guests.
