Holiday Cheese Ball Wreath

Instructions

1. Beat the cream cheese, cheddar and butter in a large bowl until blended. Add apricot jam and Worcestershire sauce; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Place 7 teaspoonfuls cheddar mixture onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Scoop or spoon the remaining mixture by tablespoonfuls onto prepared pan. Shape cheddar mixture into balls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Place the dill, fresh parsley, dried parsley and chile pepper flakes into separate shallow bowls. Divide the larger balls into thirds. Roll a third of the balls into dill; roll a third of the balls into fresh parsley; and roll the remaining balls into dried parsley. Roll the smaller balls into chile pepper flakes.
4. Arrange the larger balls into a wreath shape on a serving platter. Top with smaller balls and currants if desired. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Serve with crackers.
