Cheese & Bacon Mini Cheese Ball Bites

Recipe by Rose

These Cheese & Bacon Mini Cheese Ball Bites combine three different cheeses with crumbled bacon and spices and are finished by rolling in crushed walnuts and eaten on a pretzel stick for a fun, easy-to-eat appetizer!

  • Total Time20 minutes
  • Yield60 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 6.5 oz cup of Kaukauna® Port Wine Spreadable Cheese, at room temp.
  • 8 oz cream cheese, at room temp.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup real bacon crumbles
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • Pretzel sticks

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the cream cheese and Kaukauna® Port Wine Spreadable Cheese. Sprinkles the Italian seasoning over the top and stir together.
  2. Next stir in the bacon crumbles and mozzarella cheese.
  3. Then when it’s well combined, form into small 1″ balls (I used a tiny scoop but a spoon works just as well).
  4. Drop each ball in the crushed walnuts, then roll around to coat. You could place them straight onto a serving platter with the pretzel stick already in the cheeseball, or serve them in a bowl and let guests help themselves!
  5. Depending on the size of your cheese balls, you should get 50-60 mini cheese balls.
