“I grew up eating this on special occasions. We ate it with either buttery, round crackers or stuffed in celery sticks. It is very rich tasting. Try different types of nuts for the coating.” - by ANGIEM0922

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 (4 ounce) can chopped black olives, drained
1/4 cup butter, softened
