Cheddar-Olive Balls

A family favorite forever, we put piles of them made with small olives in the freezer raw to bake throughout the holidays, and serve them on a tray with those ruffled toothpicks.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 24

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 1  cup flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Accent seasoning
• 1  teaspoon paprika
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne
• 12  ounces stuffed green olives

Directions

1. Mix cheese and butter well.
2. Sift in next 5 ingredients and combine into a dough.
3. Take a small ball of dough and flatten with your hand to wrap around and cover an olive. You want to seal in the olive completely with a thin layer, but not too thin. Try a tablespoon or so to start, and see how it works with the size olives you use.
4. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes.
