Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted and completely cooled
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
• 1 ½ cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
• ⅔ cup Reduced Sugar Craisins®
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• ½ cup green onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves (about ½ sprig)

Directions

• Prepare pecans ahead of time: cook in a pan over medium-high heat, stirring often until slightly browned and fragrant; about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a plate.
• Place all remaining ingredients (except pecans) in a large bowl and stir well until completely mixed. You may need to mix by hand as it will be very thick.
• Shape mixture into an even ball, about 4-inches in diameter, then roll ball to coat all sides with chopped pecans. Serve immediately with crackers or bread, or store covered in fridge until ready to serve.
