Place the piece of pretzel rod in top for stem. Using a knife, cut shallow vertical lines from stem to bottom to mimic the lines on a pumpkin. Cut rye bread or crusts into triangles for eyes, cut red pepper into triangle , for nose, and cut olives in half to make the mouth.

  2. Double the cheese ball ingredients for a larger pumpkin.
