Ingredients
2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup cooked bacon, finely crumbled
¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
Pretzel sticks (for serving)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Chill mixture for 30 minutes to firm up.
While chilling, mix crumbled bacon, parsley, and green onions in a shallow bowl.
Once chilled, roll cheese mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
Roll each ball in the bacon-herb coating to fully cover.
Insert a pretzel stick into each for easy serving.
