Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Place one mozzarella piece in the center of each square, then wrap the dough around the cheese, sealing the edges tightly.
- Place the biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- After baking, brush with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
