  1. Crowd Pleaser- I think next time I will pipe a little herbed cream cheese into the olive and then add the pepperoni and julienned vegies-Thank you for posting
     
  2. Very interesting and unique idea! I used strips of cheddar cheese, strips of carrot, and long green chives as the fresh herb. For me the flavor of the olives seemed to overwhelm all the other flavors; I'd like to try this again with slightly smaller olives.
     
  3. I made these the other night when I had company. They were fantastic. They went so quickly I am glad I tried one when I was making them or there would of been none for me to try. I mixed them up using carrots and red bell peppers and Cheddar and Colby Jack cheese. I couldn't find the super colossal size so had to settle for the largest they had. But all worked out wonderful.
     
  4. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give them here! These were fun to make, look really great, and taste fantastic! I used carrots, monterey jack cheese and added very thinly sliced onion. I also used fresh parsley but it fell down into the pepperoni where you don't see it. These olives really look impressive and would be fun for a Halloween theme party with the black and orange. Thank you, Barb!
     
  5. I loved these. Made with hard salami, muenster cheese and green pepper. Just like eating pizza without the guilt. Thanks for the recipe!
