This Raspberry Chipotle Cheeseball Wreath is a holiday hit! You can easily use half of this recipe to make just a regular cheeseball. I love to serve these with crostini, but buttery Ritz crackers are great too! Garnishing with red tomatoes and fragrant green rosemary make it the perfect holiday appetizer!
