This is a very handy item to have waiting in your freezer, should unexpected company drop in. I made these a lot in the late 70s and early 80s, and I remember that it was important to tell everyone what they were; they don't look like olives and olive-haters will be in for a nasty surprise if they bite into one. I really enjoy the taste of these. Once you get the hang of wrapping the dough around the olives, they are fast and easy to prepare. I think that using a sharp (old) cheddar gives the best results.

Not sure if the "dough" was supposed to be crumbly as it was or if it was supposed to be more dough like. I found that when I had olive juice on my hands they formed dough better and it was easier to get around the olive (btw I used queen sized olives in pics). I expected them to taste better. They were interesting. But I wouldn't make them too often.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
