Method

  1. Combine cheese together and blend until smooth. Mix in ½ cup of the cranberries, pecans, and chives.
  2. Roll the mixture into small balls. If the mixture is too warm, let chill in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes until slightly firm.
  3. Put the excess cranberries, pecans, and chives in shallow dishes. Rolls the balls through the coatings and cover to desired look.
  4. Place a pretzel rod down the center of the balls and serve cold.
