In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chives, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Mix until all ingredients are well blended, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
Using your hands, form the cheese mixture into small, bite-sized balls.
Roll each ball in the chopped pecans to coat them evenly.
Place the coated cheese balls on a plate or tray.
Refrigerate the cheese balls for at least an hour before serving to allow them to firm up.
Variations & Tips
There are plenty of ways to customize these mini cheese balls! For a bit of spice, you can add chopped jalapeños to the mix or sprinkle some cayenne pepper. If you’re not a fan of pecans, try using crushed walnuts or even sunflower seeds. You can also experiment with herbs—swap out chives for scallions or add a bit of dill for an earthy touch. For those who want an extra kick, a dash of hot sauce in the cheese blend will do the trick. Lastly, don’t hesitate to make them ahead of time—they store well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
