Instructions
- Remove the cheese from its wrapper and cut into 8-10 discs. Set aside.
- Heat a small pan to medium heat and melt your butter. Once the butter starts to bubble, add the pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often and pour over a large sheet of parchment paper in a thin layer. Allow to cool until the candy coating hardens.
- Fold the parchment paper in half, trapping the nuts and crush with a meat tenderizer. Chop the rest with a knife until minced.
- Finely chop the cranberries and add to the pecans. Combine pecans, cranberries, and parsley on a plate or cutting board.
- Take a goat cheese disk and press into the pecan coating on each side, then roll into a ball.
- Coat again as needed by rolling the completed ball in the mixture once more. Repeat for each disc of cheese.
- Add a pretzel stick in the top for easy serving (optional).
