- 1 packet ranch dressing mix (optional for extra flavor)
- 2 envelopes real bacon bits (or about 1 1/2 cups crispy, chopped bacon) 🥓
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
- Soften the cream cheese: Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to make mixing easier.

- Optional: Sprinkle in the ranch dressing mix for extra zesty seasoning.

- Roll into bite-sized balls—about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Step 4: Roll in Crispy Bacon
- Spread the real bacon bits or chopped crispy bacon onto a plate.
- Roll each cheese ball in the bacon bits, pressing gently so the bacon sticks evenly.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
