3-Ingredient Bacon Cheddar Cream Cheese Bombs Directions:
Mix the softened cream cheese and cheddar in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
If the mixture is too soft to shape, refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before continuing.
Divide the cheese mixture into 18 equal portions, approximately 35 g each. Gently roll each portion into a ball.
Spread the finely crumbled bacon on a plate. Roll each ball in the bacon, pressing lightly so the crumbs adhere. Distribute the bacon evenly among all 18 balls.
Arrange on a platter or tray, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until firm and easy to serve.
Serve chilled, bringing out only the amount needed at a time.
Practical Woman's Secret
Divide the cheese mixture before coating so the balls stay similar in size. Keep the bacon completely cool and finely crumbled, then press it gently into the surface for an even coating.
Serving and Storage
Arrange on a chilled platter with cocktail picks available separately. Prepare up to 1 day ahead and keep covered in the refrigerator. Use within 3–4 days, allowing for the age of previously cooked bacon. Limit time at room temperature to 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F. The bacon coating will gradually soften during storage.
