INGREDIENTS NOTES:

BACON:

  • We have to use thick-cut bacon. Thick-cut bacon crumbles easily and gives the fat bombs a delightful crunch. Either cook the bacon in the oven/in a pan for convenience.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • We have to use the full-fat cream cheese and let it soften overnight before combining. This facilitates the creation of a texture(creamy, smooth) that mixes well with all the items.

MAYONNAISE:

  • Mayonnaise is used to bring out the richness of the fat bombs; you have to use a premium full-fat mayo. We don’t have to use the low-fat or light mayonnaise since they could change the flavor and texture.

BUTTER:

  • We have to use butter(unsalted) to better regulate the seasoning. We can melt the butter before adding it to the mixture for a smooth consistency.

FRESH HERBS:

  • We have to use fresh herbs, such as parsley and chives, to add a splash of color and additional taste. Fresh herbs will work best, but you can use dried herbs if you’d like.
