CRANBERRY AND PECAN CHEESEBALL RECIPE
Ingredients
1/2 Cup / 50g Pecans
9 oz / 250g Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup / 60g Sour Cream
1 Cup / 85g Cheddar Cheese
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Cup / 120g Dried Cranberries
2 Tbsp Chives chopped
Instructions
Roughly chop the pecans. We want smaller and larger pieces to create texture. Place onto a baking sheet and toast in a 200C / 400F oven for 5 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from the oven and transfer to a small bowl to cool.
In a medium sized mixing bowl add the cream cheese. Mix with a wooden spoon for a minute or two to soften. Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Fold together until combined. Set the bowl to the side.
Add the cranberries to the bowl with the pecans and toss together. Pour half of the mixture into the bowl with the cheese and save the rest for later. Fold together until combined.
Pour the cheeseball mixture out onto a length of plastic wrap or cooking paper. Bring up the sides to tightly wrap the mixture and shape into a ball. Place into the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Remove the cheeseball from the fridge and press into the correct shape. Pour the remaining cranberry and pecan mixture onto a plate and add the chives. Unwrap the cheeseball and roll around on the plate, pressing the coating in.
Serve now or keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Notes
If you are tight on time, toasting the pecans can be skipped.
Walnut or almonds can be used in place of pecans.
The cheeseball can be made in advance and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Servings: 20 mini cheese balls
Ingredients
Cheese balls
12 ounces cream cheese softened (use full fat for best results)
1/2 cup sour cream use full fat for best results
1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese shredded (can also use sharp yellow cheddar or freshly shredded mozzarella)
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1/3 cup green onion
Coating
3/4 cup real bacon bits

1 1/2 tablespoons parsley chopped
2 tablespoons green onion

Instructions
You’ll need the cream cheese softened before you start. Make sure to remove ingredients from the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes before making the appetizer.
In a bowl beat together softened cream cheese, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper until well combined.
Fold in green onion. If you like to add additional ingredients for more flavor and taste you can do it now. Some of the options are finely diced red bell peppers, a dash of hot sauce, or any other ingredients you want to use.
Cover the mix and refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes to 1 hour.
In a small bowl mix real bacon bits, chopped pecans, finely chopped parsley, and green onion.
Once the cheese mixture is cooled enough to handle, scoop out the mixture and roll it in the bacon-nuts mixture to coat evenly.
Insert a pretzel stick into each mini ball and serve.
Mini cheese balls can be served as an appetizer or as a dip for crackers, crostini, crudité, bagel chips, or pita chips.
