📝 Preparation Steps

Unwrap the cheese wedges.

In a shallow bowl, combine the pecans, cranberries, thyme, and seasonings.

dried cranberries (very finely chopped)3 tablespoons

Lightly press one side of the cheese into the pecan-cranberry mixture, just enough so it adheres. (You should still be able to see some of the cheese showing through.)

Gently push a pretzel stick into the bottom rounded end of each cheese wedge for the ‘trunk’ (see note below.)

Arrange on a serving tray and drizzle each cheese wedge with just a hint of honey. Enjoy with pretzel thins and crackers.

honey (for drizzling, optional)
