Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Philadelphia cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Crushed pecans or walnuts
- 24 Pretzel sticks
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up and make it easier to handle.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the cream cheese mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
In a shallow dish, mix together the cocoa powder and crushed pecans or walnuts.
Roll each cheese ball in the cocoa-nut mixture, ensuring they are completely coated.
Insert a pretzel stick into the center of each coated truffle to serve as a handle.
Arrange the truffles on a serving platter and refrigerate until ready to serve (can be made up to 1 day in advance).
Enjoy these sweet-and-savory truffles as a unique and flavorful appetizer!
