1 pkg (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup toasted Walnuts, ground

MIX cream cheese spread and mozzarella cheese until well blended. Stir in chopped bacon and seasonings. Shape mixture into 54 balls, 1 level tsp. each. Roll in walnuts. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
