Love them, love them, love them! I always add garlic salt and hot sauce to taste. It gives them a great little kick! They are a great make ahead appetizer too. Just roll the balls and place them in an air tight container, you can keep them in the fridge or freeze them. I make a couple batches and then bake them as I need them during a get-together. The entire family loves them!

5 stars! Delicious! I added a dash of olive juice, dash of worschestire sauce, and a dash of hot sauce. Then I used red pepper flakes since I was out of paprika. I also halved the recipe and made 26 balls. I froze most of them to save for a party coming up. YUM!

Good recipe, it was a hit but they ended up looking like little hats, perhaps I used too much cheese. I also added a little red pepper so it had a nice little kick. I may make it again, they did taste great but presentation wasn't what I expected.

Not that great. I felt the breading was bland and maybe I put it on too heavy around the olive. Those who don't like green olives really won't like this. I took these to a party, and have to say - really, no one liked them. We threw most of them away at the end of the night!

These were really good! I only used 16 oz. of cheese, because that's all I had, and they were still super cheesy! I was *really worried that it wasn't going to work out when I added the flour, and had nothing but a bunch of crumbs that looked NOTHING like dough. You really do have to get your hands in there and mix it up, the heat from your hands will soften the cheese and butter so it will form a dough. I got close to 70 olives out of this recipe. They tasted great, very cheesy!

These turned out really well, I did prepare them ahead of time and placed in fridge for a couple of hours before baking since I had other appy's that we were making. I also cut back some on the olives and added some green onion to the mix, but that is our personal preference. Thanks for the post.

My friend's mother served these at a party and I was glad to find the recipe. Made them for a pot luck and everyone enjoyed them as an appetizer. The one mistake I made was melting the butter. It was an oversight and it did change the shape of the balls to disks. They tasted great all the same. This is the perfect blend of flavors.

Wow! So delicious and easy! I did use cayenne instead of paprika which gave them a great kick!

Sorry, these were just okay. They never really get crispy. They're good, but not excellent or anything. I probably wouldn't make them again, but they were still worth eating.
