Several years ago I found this great recipe in a magazine and made it for a Halloween party. Since it was a huge hit, I have made it now for several years but slightly adapted the original recipe from Taste of Home.

Recipe Notes

soften cream cheese by leaving on counter for a couple of hours. carve RIP into the cream cheese when it is not too soft using the tip of a paring knife. This recipe for Peppered Tombstone Spread was inspired and adapted from Taste of Home. Hey, if goat cheese isn't your thing, you can leave it out! The recipe works just fine without it!
