If you go to www.allrecipes.com not only can you find many great recipes for mostly every food you
wish to make, but they also have a section for big occasions and holidays to help you decide what
to make. For Super Bowl Sunday the website has a whole section called "Super Snacks". Good luck
and enjoy!
Cheddar and Olive Balls
I based this recipe on one from a famous Virginia colonial tavern, but I've had much better success
with this one than the one published in their cookbook. It's great for parties, picnics, or
potlucks. It will also freeze well (uncooked) for quick prep anytime! Prep Time: approx. 40
Minutes. Cook
Time: approx. 30 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 1 Hour 10 Minutes. Makes 45 olive balls (45 servings).
18 1/2 ounces extra sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/2 teaspoon paprika 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 45 pitted green olives
Allow cheese to sit out until it is at room temperature. In a large bowl, mix together the cheese,
butter and paprika using a pastry blender. Gradually mix in flour, first using the pastry blender,
then using your hands. Mix until the dough pulls together. It should form a solid ball with a smooth
appearance, but have a crumbly texture when pulled apart. If dough appears too dry, add more
shredded cheese. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pinch off a small piece of
dough, and cover an olive with it. Roll gently between your palms to smooth and seal the olive
inside the ball. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet and repeat with remaining dough and olives.
Place the tray of covered olives into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up. Bake for 20 to 25
minutes in the preheated oven, or until browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Freezing: Roll dough around olives, and place in an airtight container, separating the olive balls
with layers of waxed paper. To bake, do not thaw and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for
25 minutes.
