Instructions

  1. Stir together the cream cheese and cheddar in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Add the Craisins, green onions, and parsley to the cheese and mix until incorporated.
  3. Spread the chopped toasted pecans in a pie plate or shallow bowl.
  4. Form the cheese mixture into a ball shape. Then roll the cheese ball around on the pecans to completely coat the outside of the ball.

Notes

  • How to Make Toasted Pecans
  • Baked: Toss the pecan halves in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread them in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cook at 350 degrees F for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the oven and cool in a bowl before chopping.
  • Stovetop: Toss the pecan halves in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the nuts to a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the skillet and cool in a bowl before chopping.
