Cranberry Pecan Bacon Cheese Log Savor the perfect blend of flavors with our Cranberry Pecan Bacon Cheese Log. This recipe mixes smooth cream cheese with sharp white cheddar, adds a twist of garlic, and is adorned with dried cranberries, pecans, bacon, and chives. Ideal for spreading on crackers, it's a crowd-pleaser for any party occasion!
