Directions
Cheese Olive Balls, A fantastic recipe, a bit different from the others on the site, as it contains more spices I usually have these in the lounge before settling my guests down for dinner, and they always go really quickly I don’t remember where I got it from, but it’s certainly a favorite and I’ll be making them for Christmas eve! These are best made the day before, and popped in the oven just before you need them , The best version of these I’ve ever made! Wonderful shortbread -textured pastry I took these to my Italian group tonight, and they were a big, big hit! used a mizture of whatever olives I had—some garlic-stuffed, some with pimiento, some with peppers Yes!!!, These were so yummy and easy to make! I especially liked that I could make them the evening before and heat them up the following day I served them for my daughter’s graduation party and they were devoured as soon as they hit the table With a toothpick in each one, they made great finger food
