Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the bacon strips and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove from pan to a plate lined with paper towels to cool completely before chopping into small pieces.

In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, pickled jalapeños, 1/3 cup chopped green onions, garlic powder, honey, and half of the chopped bacon.

Add the cheese mixture to the center of a serving platter then shape with lightly wet hands into a football-like shape.
