These are exquisite. I tried making
them with black olives, dried cranberries,
and nuts as filling also. They do take time to "assemble"
into the small balls, but I did that while sitting in front of
the television set. 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.SURPRISE CHEESE PUFFS
