Recipe Notes
*I find the syrah soaked toscano cheese and white stilton with cranberries at Trader Joe's! Sartori also makes an incredible merlot soaked bellavitano cheese which is very similar and another favorite of mine!
*The cranberry spice cheese is a seasonal cheese made by Boursin - I can find it at the grocery store this time of year only. It's so good!
*I get the white chocolate peppermint covered pretzels from Trader Joe's and same goes for the rosemary sea salt nut mix! Use your favorites here!
*I just use fresh cranberries to fill in gaps and make it pretty - they're too bitter to eat plain, but you could sub sweetened dried cranberries here if you want!
