      Equipment

      Ingredients

      • 8 oz Cream Cheese
      • 1 cup white sharp cheddar cheese shredded
      • 1 cup dried cranberries chopped and divided
      • 1 cup pecans (or walnuts), chopped and toasted *optional
      • ¼ cup chives or green onions, chopped
      • ½ tsp garlic powder
      • pretzel sticks

      Instructions

      • To Toast Pecans or Walnuts: Preheat the oven to 375F. Coarsely chop the nuts and put them on a baking tray. Bake for 5 minutes or until aromatic. Remove from oven and set aside.
      • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ½ toasted pecans, ½ cup dried cranberries, chive or green onion, and garlic powder until well combined.
      • Combine remaining ½ cup pecans, ½ dried cranberries, and 2 tablespoon chives in a shallow bowl.
      • Using a cookie dough scoop, scoop out balls of the cream cheese mixture and drop them into pecan/cranberry mixture.
      • Roll them around a bit until coated. Place them on a cookie sheet. Just prior to serving, insert a pretzel stick into each cheeseball bite. 

      Notes

      • If you want a splash of color add a tablespoon or so of chopped flat-leaf parsley to the nut mixture before rolling.

      To make a Large Cheeseball

      1. Place mixture in the center of a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and cover completely with wrap while forming it into a ball shape. Place in fridge until ready to serve.
      2. Just before serving, combine remaining ½ cup pecans, ½ dried cranberries, and 2 tablespoon chives on a flat surface or cutting board. Unwrap the ball and roll in cranberry-pecan mixture. Serve with apple slices, crackers, pita chips, pretzels, carrots or celery.
