Cheesy Bacon & Sun-Dried Tomato Bites

1. Combine Ingredients

Place the softened cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl. Add the finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and garlic powder. Using a rubber spatula, mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should look smooth and homogeneous.

2. Chill Mixture

Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the mixture to firm up, making it easier to handle when forming the truffles later.

3. Prepare Coating

While the mixture is chilling, prepare the coating by combining the finely chopped bacon and parsley in a separate medium bowl.

4. Form Truffles

After the cream cheese mixture has chilled, wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking, then scoop out small portions and roll them into 1-inch balls. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape but still soft enough to roll easily.

5. Coat Truffles

Roll each ball lightly in the bacon and parsley mixture until well coated. The bacon adds a savory crunch while the parsley provides a fresh, vibrant touch.

6. Serve

Place the coated truffles on a serving dish and chill them until you’re ready to serve. These truffles are best enjoyed within two days to ensure maximum freshness and flavor.
