Directions

Make the Cheese Ball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, goat cheese, shredded cheese, green onions, dried cranberries, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Shape the Cheese Balls: Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the cheese ball mixture. Shape it into a teardrop form, so it resembles the shape of the naan dippers. Press gently onto a Stonefire^® Naan Dipper^® to secure it.
Coat with Pecans: Pulse the pecans in a food processor until finely chopped (but not powdery). Roll or press the cheese ball portion into the chopped pecans until evenly coated.
Add the Reindeer Face:

Nose: Press a small grape tomato at the bottom of the cheese ball for Rudolph’s red nose.
Eyes: Use small slices of the white part of a green onion for the whites of the eyes, then place a peppercorn in the center of each. Gently press them onto the cheese ball.
Antlers: Break small pretzels into curved pieces and press them into the top of the cheese ball to create antlers.

5. Assemble all the reindeer cheese balls following the same steps. Place them on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
