These are the savory answer to a sweet fat bomb. Cream cheese and sharp cheddar get seasoned, rolled into little balls, then coated in crumbled bacon so every bite has crunch.
Keep a batch in the fridge for when hunger hits between meals. They are rich enough that one or two settles a craving fast.
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- 1
Cook the bacon until crisp, drain, and crumble it finely onto a plate.
- 2
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- 3
Chill the mixture for 20 minutes so it firms up enough to handle.
- 4
Scoop and roll the mixture into 12 small balls.
- 5
Roll each ball in the crumbled bacon to coat, then chill until firm before serving.
Tips
- Wet your hands lightly before rolling so the mixture does not stick.
- They keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
