Get ready for the ultimate game day snack: Loaded Pretzel Bombs! These pretzels are seriously the bomb. 😉
Loaded Pretzel Bombs
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon
- 4 ounces of cream cheese softened
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/3 cup baking soda
- Egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon in a medium skillet until it’s crispy. Once done, drain it on paper towels and then chop it up.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and chives until everything is well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Flatten each round of biscuit dough until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto each round of dough, then bring the edges of the dough together and pinch them to seal.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the baking soda with 3 cups of warm water, whisking until the baking soda is dissolved. Dip each pretzel bomb into the solution and gently toss until they’re evenly coated.
- Place the coated bombs on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side facing down. Using a knife, score an “X” onto the top of each bomb, then brush them with the egg wash and sprinkle them with salt.
- Bake the pretzel bombs in the preheated oven until they’re deeply golden brown, which should take about 15 minutes. Serve them warm and watch them disappear!
