If you’re getting ready for football season or just searching for a crowd-pleasing snack, Iowa Party Bites are the answer! These delightful little bites blend the crispness of tortilla chips with a cheesy, creamy filling that will keep people coming back for more. When you have a large audience, nothing beats poppable, portable food! The nicest thing might be how easy they are to make. With only a few ingredients, you can make a flavorful snack that’s sure to please the whole crew.

The filling starts with a creamy mixture of softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Next, one egg is added to the mixture to help tie everything together and puff up the tops. As the name suggests, these puppies are stuffed with delicious corn in every bite. Although canned is called for in the recipe, fresh is preferable if available. A can of green chiles, a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper complete the flavor with just the appropriate amount of heat. If your guests are up for it, feel free to up the spice level.

Once your filling is complete, it’s time to assemble! Arrange the Scoops securely on the prepared baking sheets, filling each with a heaping scoop. For the finishing touch, generously sprinkle grated parmesan on top. Place your bites in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until brown and bubbly. Serve them hot for the greatest crunch, and prepare to receive plenty of compliments. Whether it’s game day or family night, these small bits of cheesy delight will please any gathering.
