Mini Ranch Cheeseballs

1.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined and smooth.

2.

Chill the cheese mixture in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle and shape.

3.

Using a small scoop or spoon, portion out the cheese mixture into small, bite-sized balls.

4.

Roll each cheese ball gently in your hands to form a smooth ball shape and ensure they are evenly sized.

5.

Spread the chopped bacon bits and chives on a plate, then gently roll each cheese ball in the mixture until fully coated.

6.

Stick a pretzel stick into each cheeseball as a handle for easy serving.

7.

Refrigerate the completed cheeseballs until ready to serve to keep them firm and flavorful.
