Cheese Ball Bites Recipe | The Sweetest Journey

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, paprika, garlic salt, and pepper. Stir together until well combined.

Scoop the cheese mixture in rounded tablespoonfuls. Form into a ball and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat the process with the rest of the cheese mixture.

Loosely cover the cheese balls with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

In a small bowl, stir together the chives, pecans, and bacon until evenly combined.

Take the cheese balls out of the refrigerator and roll each ball in the bacon mixture, making sure to gently press the bacon mixture around the ball.

Place back on the baking sheet. Carefully insert a pretzel stick into each cheese ball.

Serve immediately or refrigerate loosely covered in plastic wrap until ready to serve.
