Items needed:

What I love most about this is that you only need 4 ingredients and about 5 minutes to put everything together.

  • Cheddar Cheese – Mild cheddar is preferred but sharp will do.
  • Cream Cheese
  • Real Bacon Bits – any brand, generic is what we use for cost. If you have bacon on hand, you can fry it up, drain it well, and crumble.
  • Honey – the sweetness of the honey adds an amazingly sweet flavor and also helps hold the dip together a little

It’s such an easy appetizer dip that you can put together in just a few minutes. You can enjoy it as soon as it is mixed or store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
