Step 1
Cut celery into 4 lengthwise strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 9 (1-inch-long) pieces. Discard any remaining celery pieces. Step 2
Use sharp knife or kitchen shears to cut 2 small hearts out of each pepperoni slice; reserve for later use. Finely chop pepperoni trimmings. Step 3
Mix cream cheese, onions, bacon and chopped pepperoni until blended. Roll into 18 balls, using about 1 Tbsp. cream cheese mixture for each ball. Step 4
Place mozzarella in pie plate. Roll cheese balls, 1 at a time, in mozzarella until cheese ball is evenly coated on all sides with mozzarella. Step 5
Place 1 cheese ball on each cracker. Add 2 pepperoni hearts to each for the lovebug's eyes and 2 celery sticks for the antennae. Step 6
Refrigerate 30 min. Kraft Kitchen Tips!
Note
For easy cleanup, use a small scoop to portion the cream cheese mixture for each cheese ball. Then, use a fork to toss each cheese ball with the mozzarella.
Size Wise
Enjoy eating appetizers at a social occasion, but be mindful of portion size so you don’t overdo it on calories.
