Cranberry, Pecan and White Cheddar Cheese Ball

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the pecans across the baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for about 5 minutes and then remove from the oven.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and the cheddar cheese. Add the pecans, salt and Worcestershire sauce. Continue mixing for another minute or two until everything is well-combined. Remove the mixture from the bowl and form into a ball with your hands. Wrap the formed ball in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

3. Remove the chilled cheese ball from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Set it on a serving plate. Using small handfuls at a time, place dried cranberries all over the cheese ball, pushing in lightly to secure them into place. Try to cover as much of the cheese ball as possible (except the bottom). Serve immediately or cover and place back into the fridge until serving. Serve with crackers.
