Description

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp salted butter, room temperature
• 1 (8oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/8 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 tsp hot sauce
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries
• 1/3 cup crushed nuts (almonds, pecans or walnuts)
• 1/3 cup finely chopped green onion, or parsley (whichever you prefer)
• 12-15 pretzel sticks

Directions

• In a medium bowl add the butter, cream cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and ground pepper. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined and smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese. Use a spoon to divide the mixture into 12-15 tablespoon-size portions. Dip your clean hands in a little bit of water and smooth each portion into a small ball. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or as long as you want to in advance). Before serving, roll the balls in cranberries, nuts, parsley or green onion. Place a pretzel stick in each. Serve immediately.
