Step 1

1. Slice each block of cheddar cheese into twenty 1/4" slices. Cut each block of cream cheese into 18 slices; sandwich between cheddar slices, using a knife to spread evenly. Create four 6" long blocks of cheese; place in a 13" x 9" dish.

3. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning once. Drain excess marinade. Serve cheese with bread or crackers.
