You can do this in 10min, shall we start the timer?

This recipe is super easy and just perfect for cheese lovers! It combines a lot of flavors, such as the hotness of the chili, the saltiness of the pretzel, and the sweetness of the jam!

Ingredients

• 8 Bacon Slices
• 160g Cheddar Cheese Bar
• 300g Cream Cheese
• 32 Pretzel Sticks
• 50g Peanuts
• 1 Jalapeño or ½ Ghost Pepper
• Black Pepper
• Paprika
• Salt
• Fruit Jam (we like fig or tangerine jam)

Recipe

1. Place the bacon slices in a frying pan until they are well toasted. Remove the bacon and dry it with a paper towel to remove the released fat.

2. After the bacon has cooled, chop it with a knife into very small pieces.

3. In a bowl, add the bacon, roughly chopped peanuts, salt, paprika, black pepper, and chopped Jalapeño (or half a ghost pepper).

4. In another bowl, add the cream cheese, salt, and grate the cheddar cheese bar, mix well and form 16 small cheese balls.

5. Pass the cheese balls through the bacon mixture and place 2 pretzel sticks in each ball.

6. The best companion for these spicy cheese balls is a fig or tangerine jam.
