For a truly macabre touch, use black olives for the pupils instead of pimiento-stuffed ones. Experiment with different types of meat sticks for varied textures and flavors. Consider adding spicy chorizo or smoky salami. If you're short on time, skip the prosciutto and simply arrange the meat sticks more closely together. Consider using a pumpkin-flavored cream cheese spread.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Base (5 minutes): Place the foam head on a cake stand and secure it with tape. Alternatively, nestle the base of the head within a hollowed-out pumpkin ring for added stability and thematic flair.
02
StepSculpt the Face (45 minutes): Affix each meat stick segment using wooden picks, meticulously arranging them around the head to create a lifelike facial structure. Customize the placement of each piece to achieve the desired expression. Fill in any gaps between the meat sticks with torn pieces of prosciutto, ensuring a seamless and visually appealing surface.
03
StepCraft the Eyes (15 minutes): Employ wooden picks to secure the halved cheese rounds onto the foam head, mimicking eyeballs. Then, using the same picks, position a halved olive atop each cheese half to represent pupils, adding a touch of eerie realism.
04
StepForm the Teeth (10 minutes): Spread a small amount of cream cheese on the rounded side of each peanut half. Affix these peanut 'teeth' over the mouth area on the head, creating a ghastly grin.
05
StepAdd Veins (10 minutes): Arrange the roasted red pepper strips amidst the meat pieces on the top of the head. The red strips will give the impression of veins.
06
StepFinal Presentation (10 minutes): Surround the sausage head with an array of crackers, mustard, assorted cheeses, olives, and any other charcuterie accompaniments of your choosing. Arrange everything artfully to create an enticing and balanced spread.
