The only problem I had with this recipe was my fault. I tried to used margerine instead of butter. Bad idea. This is not the one to cut the fat on. They melted into puddles. Tasted okay but looked kind of funny. I will make again the right way. -
My family loves olives, but wasn't a big fan of this recipe. It was fun to make though, thanks for posting. -
I was not wowed by these. Perhaps its because I used regular bottled pimento stuffed olives. Reduced the recipe by 1/4th and it made 17 balls. Erred in my dividing and had to add more butter, which I melted. Used a pastry cutter to combine and cut grated cheddar into flour mixture. Baked at 400 in a toaster oven for 15mins, slightly browned and crispy. I might try these again with a better quality olive. -
I found, these were better if they cooled a bit, made the coating a bit crunchier. They were pretty easy to make. I used up some other grated cheeses (Taco blend and Swiss) I had, and they were great!! They were well accepted!! -
Used this for a Valentine app. my DH loved them. This is a keeper. Very easy to prepare.

I now live in southeast Michigan, but have lived overseas a couple of times (in the South Pacific, and in Asia). My family loves to try new foods and has very few dislikes so I am lucky. We love to travel (lately in Europe and the Caribbean) and I have collected recipes and spices wherever we go.
