Ingredients

1 lb mini pretzel bites

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup crumbled bacon (cooked and drained)

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup ranch dressing (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.

Take each mini pretzel bite and carefully create a small pocket by gently squeezing the sides to open it up.

Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each pretzel bite with the cheese and bacon mixture, ensuring not to overfill them.

Place the filled pretzel bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzel bites are golden and the filling is warm and gooey.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, drizzle with ranch dressing before serving.

Serve warm and enjoy your Iowa Party Bites with friends and family!
