Olive Cheese Balls

A great appetizer!

Here's a recipe I resurrected from an old, yellowed, falling-apart Betty Crocker cookbook:
Olive Cheese Balls.

On paper towels, drain and dry about 40 pimiento-stuffed green olives. Mix 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded cheese with 1 and 1/4 cups flour.

Add 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine and knead thoroughly 

Take about a teaspoon of dough and wrap it around each olive, rolling it into a ball. (That's the fun part.) Place on ungreased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Cover and chill for at least one hour. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 - 20 minutes.

The finished product! I'm serving them as an appetizer with our Easter ham dinner. Next time I'll add a dash of cayenne pepper. 

             Martini, anyone?

Update: I just re-discovered this recipe which I had forgotten. This is a unique appetizer that I'd like to make again!
