Pecan Dusted Cheese Spread

While we were at the lake for The 4th of July, our friends had the best appetizer layered into a cheese board. I came home craving it the very next week. I’ve recreated the spread with my own twist!! Have you ever had pecan dust? … If not, I highly recommend you add it into your life, starting with my Pecan Dusted Cheese Spread!
