Half a teaspoon of garlic powder.
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Chopped pecans (if desired, to cover) 1/4 cup
Directions:
Mix the ingredients together. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chives, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Make cheese balls. Form the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in size using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Make Cheese Balls. Mix the rest of the chopped bacon and pecans in a little bowl. Cover each cheese ball by rolling it in the mixture.
Relax: Put the cheese balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to make them firmer.
