1 Prepare the 6 bacon slices until crisp using a skillet, oven, or microwave. Set them on a paper towel to drain, allow them to cool completely, and crumble them into small pieces.

2 Place the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl with the shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until everything is evenly blended and smooth, warming the mixture briefly in the microwave if necessary.

3 Look through the bag of Doritos and select the largest intact chips. Carefully open a small pocket in each one, taking care not to snap the chip apart.

4 Spoon the cheese filling into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one corner cut off. You may also fill the chips with a spoon. Add 1–2 teaspoons of filling to the pocket in each Dorito.

5 Set the stuffed chips in one layer on a tray without letting them overlap. Refrigerate them for 20 minutes, giving the creamy centers time to become firm.

6 Scatter the chopped chives over the filled Doritos just before serving, if using. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature, and do not leave them sitting out for an extended period.
