Olive Balls

These Olive Balls are a holiday entertaining MUST! Olives wrapped in a buttery cheddar cheese pastry...they couldn't be easier or more delicious. Your guests will love them!

Honestly, I can’t believe I haven’t shared these Olive Balls with you guys yet. I’ve been enjoying these since I was a kid. My mom, the original hostess with the mostess, made these every holiday season. She’d get all of us to help and we’d make dozens to throw in Ziplocs in the freezer, so when friends would drop by unexpected, we always had something to serve with cocktails.

• 1/2 cup (one stick) butter
• 2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 24-26 large Queen pimento stuffed olives
