Assemble Your Bliss Bombs: Place a spoonful of the cheesy mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold up the edges carefully to form little balls—think of them as tiny pouches of joy!
Melt Butter & Bake Away!: Brush each bomb generously with melted butter before placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until they’re golden brown and bubbly.
Let Them Cool & Enjoy!: Once out of the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes. But don’t wait too long; those cheesy centers are calling your name!
Enjoy these Cheesy Garlic Bliss Bombs warm from the oven—they’re best enjoyed fresh but still tasty later! Your friends and family will be asking for seconds (and thirds)—trust me!
