Combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix to combine.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and ranch dressing mix. Stir to combine.
Put mixture into plastic wrap and form into a ball. Then form into a cone with it smaller at one end and wider at the other.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour or until firm enough to decorate.
When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap.
Place on the serving platter and decorate with the pecan halves and raisins.
Serve with crackers.

To soften cream cheese, leave out on the counter for a few hours until room temperature.

For the smoothest consistency, use a food processor or electric mixer to mix all of your ingredients before you shape the hedgehog.

Want the best tasting ranch? Create your own dressing mix, using a spice grinder to grind and mix all your spices together into a smooth blend.

Get the best presentation for your dish by cleaning up any mess around the plate with a paper towel before serving.

You can go with just an oval shape or you can go for a more pointed nose to be closer to a true hedgehog shape.

If the cream cheese mixture is too stiff, mix in a little sour cream.
