1. Add the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to a mixing bowl, then stir until smooth and fully combined.

2. Mix in the honey, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and green onions until evenly distributed.

3. Fold in the chopped dried cranberries so they are spread throughout the cheese mixture.

4. Transfer the mixture onto plastic wrap and shape it into a rough log, then wrap tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.

5. Combine the chopped pistachios and parsley on a plate or shallow dish.

6. Unwrap the chilled cheese log and roll it in the pistachio mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks on all sides.

7. Return the coated cheese log to the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up again before serving.

8. Place on a serving platter and serve with crackers, crostini, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.
