Cranberry Pecan Topped Cheese Log

I know when we have the holidays, even though there is always a ton of food when we sit down for dinner, we always have "snacky" or "picky" foods or "nibbles" before while the turkey or roast cooks.

This one sounds wonderful and easy and looks "fancy" and I bet would go over really well with a nice before dinner cocktail.
