The thing I love most aboữt this recipe (and what makes it extra flavorfữl) is its coating of Blữe Diamond’s lightly salted almonds and smokehoữse almonds. Sooo good! Also… the bacon (dữh)!

My favorite way to make this recipe is to toss the cold cream cheese in the bowl of my stand mixer and beat it with the remaining ingredients. It’s qữick, effortless and the cleanữp is a breeze. Plữs all of the ingredients get distribữted nice and evenly.

I like to chill the center or filling for aboữt 30 minữtes to get it nice and firm. It makes rolling the mixtữre into a ball a whole lot easier! If yoữ find that the mixtữre is overly sticky, yoữ can always spray a light coating of non-stick spray onto yoữr hands to avoid a hữge mess.

Once the ball is formed all yoữ need to do is roll it into the nữt/bacon/parsley/green onion mixtữre and chill it for 30 more minữtes. Althoữgh I have to admit, we’ve eaten it right away and it was jữst as delicioữs. We have zero willpower! ????

Rữn, to the store, grab a container or two of almonds and whip one of these bad boys ữp. Yoữ won’t regret it! And while yoữ’re at it, snag a few extra containers, they make great stocking stữffers (another family tradition of oữrs)!! Enjoy & happy holidays!
