Pickle Poppers

2. Soften cream cheese at room temp for 30 minutes
3. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the Honky Tonk seasoning and mix well to combine.

4. Put the cream cheese mixture in a piping bag and cut the tip to ¾” wide. You can use a ziplock bag if you don’t have piping bags

5. Take the pickles out of the brine. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, making a well down the middle of the pickle.

7. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the well of the pickle so that the cream cheese comes up over the top by about ¼”
8. Spiral wrap each pickle with a piece of bacon.

10. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
