Cranberry Christmas Pecan

🧂 Ingredients

1 In a big mixing bowl, blend the goat cheese, cream cheese, cinnamon, and honey
until the mixture is fluffy and smooth. Then gently fold in 1/2 cup of the
chopped pecans. Set this lovely mixture aside.
2 Next, lay out some parchment paper on your countertop. In the center, mix
together the remaining pecans, dried cranberries, and parsley.
3 Using a large cookie scoop, take a scoop of the cheese filling and roll it
around in the cranberry-pecan mix to coat well. Repeat this process until all
your mini cheese balls are coated.
4 Chill the cheese balls in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. You can
prepare these up to two days ahead – just remember to keep them stored in an
airtight container in the fridge!
5 To serve, give them a drizzle of honey if you’d like, and enjoy them with
crackers, warm crostini, or simply with a toothpick (or pretzel stick) for fun!
