6slicesbaconcooked and crumbled
1and 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2teaspoongarlic powder
1/2cupBlue Diamond Smokehouse Almondschopped

Instructions
Add the cream cheese to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder and mix until fully combined.
Using a spoon, scoop out pieces of the mixture, about one tablespoon in size, roll into balls, then transfer to a large plate.
Add the chopped Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds to a bowl. Toss each cheese ball into the chopped almonds, making sure to gently press the almonds into them so they will stick well.
Transfer the cheese balls back to a plate, cover, and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes or until firm.
If using the pretzel sticks, insert one into each cheese ball just before serving.
