Instructions

- In a bowl, combine the chopped gherkins, crushed pretzels, and dill.

- Unwrap the chilled cheese log and gently roll it in the mixture, pressing lightly so the coating adheres evenly, including the ends.
- Reshape the log if necessary and drizzle generously with honey.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
