Wreath shaped crispy rice treats

Color the melted mashmallows with green food coloring.  Shape the rice krispie wreaths while still warm and sprinkle with red sprinkles.



Cheese Log with Dried Cranberries and Chopped Walnuts
Adapted from 5 Minutes for Mom



INGREDIENTS
Cheese Log
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese (grated)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (roughly chopped)
1/4 cup toasted walnuts (roughly chopped)
1 green onion (finely sliced)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Coating
1 green onion (top only, finely sliced)
1/4 cup toasted walnuts (finely chopped)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (roughly chopped)
INSTRUCTIONS
Add the cream cheese, cheddar, cranberries, walnuts, green onion, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
Form cream cheese mixture into a log shape, wrapped in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator.
To make the coating, spread the green onions, walnuts, and cranberries on a large plate.
Remove the cheese log from the refrigerator, and pick it up with your hands. Place it directly on the plate with the coating, and roll it to coat all sides. Most of the topping will stick immediately, but you can use your hands to press on any that falls off, filling in the bare spots. Store wrapped in the fridge.
Sprinkle additional cranberries, walnuts, and green onions around the platter for garnish.
Serve with gluten free crackers, or sturdy veggies (like carrots and celery).
