Mini Cheese Ball Bites
Mini cheese ball bites taste just like a loaded classic cheese ball but are bite-sized, making them the perfect grab-and-go party appetizer!
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 12 ounces softened cream cheese 1 and 1/2 blocks
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup bacon bits
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- 30 pretzel sticks
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and shredded cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then begin rolling the cream cheese mixture into 1-inch sized balls, placing them on your prepared baking sheet as you go. Your hands will get messy, so feel free to wear gloves.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine bacon bits and fresh parsley. Working one by one, roll each mini cheese ball in the bacon bits, coating the exterior completely. Then return to the prepared baking sheet.
- Insert a pretzel stick into the center of each bacon coated cheese ball bite before enjoying!
