- 8 oz honey goat cheese log

- honey and maple syrup for drizzling

- assorted crackers

Instructions
- Remove goat cheese from wrapper and allow to soften to room temperature.
- Heat a small pan to medium heat and melt your butter.
- Once butter starts to bubble, add your pecans, brown sugar, and pinch of salt.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent sugar from burning, and pour over parchment paper, using a spatula to separate the nuts. Allow to cool for several minutes until the coating hardens and your pecans have officially been candied! Woot! Try not to eat them all right then in there. If you're like me, you may want to make extra to top on salads and shovel in your face while you prance around the kitchen. #justsaying
- Pour the cooled candied pecans in a plastic bag or fold between one large sheet of parchment paper. Crush with hard object of choice (anything from a kitchen mallet to a wine bottle works! I used a heavy glass candle lol)
- Roll your goat cheese in the nuts and (optional) mint, pressing gently to coat.
- Place the goat cheese in the center of your cutting board or serving dish and drizzle with maple syrup and honey. I even drizzled a little as my base before adding the goat cheese log for presentation and maximum savory sweetness. So good!
Notes
- I'm leaving the mint up to y'all since I know some people loooooove adding chopped mint to dishes and others run in the opposite direction from it. You can even try adding mint to just half the cheese log and let your guests decide! Personally, I love it!
- Craving cranberries? Try adding 1/3 cup chopped dried cranberries to the mix!
