Without a doubt, one of the greatest party snacks ever!

Directions:

Mix the ingredients together. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chives, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Make cheese balls. Form the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in size using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Make Cheese Balls. Mix the rest of the chopped bacon and pecans in a little bowl. Cover each cheese ball by rolling it in the mixture.

Relax: Put the cheese balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to make them firmer.
Wait on tables. Keep it cold.
