SURPRISE CHEESE PUFFS
Yield: 50 servings

1/2 c Butter
2 c Grated sharp cheese
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Paprika
1 ds Cayenne or red pepper
1 c Sifted flour
50 sm Stuffed green olives.

Allow butter to soften; blend with cheese, salt, paprika and cayenne. Stir in flour, mixing well. Mold 1 tsp of this mixture around each olive, covering it completely. Arrange on a baking sheet and chill until firm. Bake in 400 oven for 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Makes 50 puffs.

**NOTE** These puffs are so easy to serve at parties as they may be made in advance, frozen on a baking sheet to keep round and stored in a plastic bag in the freezer. Bake as needed.

These are TO DIE FOR! They are best if served hot. They are still good at room temperature, but wonderful hot. I filled some of them with small ripe (black) olives and like those too. You could also fill them with nuts or dried cranberries.
