Place the cream cheese, butter, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and smoked paprika in a bowl.

Stir until thoroughly combined.

Place the cheese mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap. Wrap the plastic around the cheese mixture, shaping it into a ball. Add a second layer of plastic wrap, then wrap 2 wide rubber bands tightly around the cheese ball on opposite sides. Add two more rubber bands to create the ribbed look of a pumpkin.

Chill the cheese ball for at least two hours. Remove the rubber bands and plastic wrap. Place the cheese cracker crumbs on a plate and roll the cheese ball in the crumbs.

Press the bell pepper stem into the top of the cheese ball. Serve with crackers.
