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
- 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.
- Next stir in the bacon crumbles and mozzarella cheese.
- Then when it’s well combined, form into small 1″ balls (I used a tiny scoop but a spoon works just as well).
- 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!
- Depending on the size of your cheese balls, you should get 50-60 mini cheese balls.
