Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 packages (8 ounce each) cream cheese, softened
  • 2.5 ounce real bacon crumbles or 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 package ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 bag baby carrots
  • 1 can black olives, sliced
  • 1 package round crackers

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the shredded cheddar, cream cheese, bacon crumbles, and ranch seasoning. Mix the ingredients until they are smooth and well-incorporated.

2. Take the cheese mixture and shape it into small, 1-inch balls, placing them on a tray as you work.

3. Roll each cheese ball in the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar to fully coat them.

4. Slice the baby carrots into small pieces to use as the chicks’ beaks. Cut the black olives into small pieces for the eyes. Gently insert the carrot and olive pieces into the cheese balls to form the chick faces.

5. Place the mini chicks cheese balls on the round crackers and serve immediately, or chill them until ready to serve.

Notes

Prepare the cheese balls ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to serve. They can be made up to 3 days in advance.

Use cold cream cheese for easier shaping and handling of the cheese balls.

Be creative with the chick face decorations! Try using different colored carrots or olives for unique designs.

Serve the cheese balls on a platter or tray, garnished with fresh herbs or edible flowers for an extra-special presentation.
