Directions
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy. Gently mix in cheddar cheese, pimientos, and 2 tbsp Weber® Southern Comfort™ Whiskey Flavored Seasoning until well combined. Shape the mixture into about 30 1-inch balls.
- Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, combine chopped pecans, parsley, and the remaining 1 tbsp Weber® Southern Comfort™ Whiskey Flavored Seasoning. Roll each cheese ball in the pecan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres evenly.
- Refrigerate and Serve: Refrigerate the cheese balls until firm, at least 30 minutes. Keep chilled until ready to serve. Just before serving, skewer each cheese ball with a pretzel stick.
