Cheddar Bacon Ranch Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes – a delightful bite-sized appetizer perfect for parties:

Ingredients:

• 1 packet Bear Hug Foods Cheddar Bacon Ranch Dip Mix
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes (about 20-25)
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes: Cut a small slice off the top of each cherry tomato and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp with a small spoon or melon baller, creating a hollow center. Place the tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain excess liquid.

3. Stuff the Tomatoes: Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each hollowed cherry tomato with the Cheddar Bacon Ranch mixture, mounding it slightly on top.
4. Garnish and Serve: Arrange the stuffed cherry tomatoes on a serving plate and garnish with additional crumbled bacon and chopped chives for a festive touch.

These stuffed cherry tomatoes are bursting with creamy, cheesy flavor and make the perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion! Enjoy!
