Cheese Ball Recipe on a Stick

Tiny cheese balls on a pretzel stick make a super simple snack or party food that is perfect for any social gathering. My sister made these cheese balls last Christmas and they were a big hit. This cheese ball recipe tastes great with bacon, but the recipe is super adjustable, and you can leave the bacon out for a no-meat treat.

Cheese Ball Recipe

PRETZEL STICKS
10 oz. softened CREAM CHEESE
2 cups freshly shredded CHEESE
1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
1 tsp PAPRIKA
1 tsp BLACK PEPPER
Some chopped pickled JALAPENO
8oz can crushed PINEAPPLE drained

How to Make Cheese Balls on a Stick

Set the cream cheese out to soften.
Cook up a few slices of crispy bacon.
Chop and drain the pineapple, you dont want the pineapple to be super wet.

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, pineapple, jalapeno, and some chives. Mix well, until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.

In a shallow bowl, add chives, nuts, and crumbled bacon. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and roll in the mix until coated, form into a ball, and then insert a pretzel stick arrange on another plate.

Once all of the cheese balls sticks are formed, place the plate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. These cheese balls are fantastic, and they are especially tasty right out of the fridge, so leave them refrigerated until ready to serve.
