Tasty, but too much flour
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Very tasty, but a little too doughy. A little too much flour. Delicious pre-cocktail appetizer. Easy to adjust the cayenne... to taste if you like a little more heat.Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had these at a neighbor's house the other night and had to ask for the recipe. I don't even like green olives and I... couldn't keep my hands off of them. They did not have the paprika and I don't think they needed it. They also did not need dipping sauce in my opinion either. I look forward to making them at our next gathering.Read more
