Quite tasty. Here is a pro tip: grab some muffaletta olive salad—we pick ours up at the local farmers market. Strain it, then combine with the base ingredients, cream cheese, garlic, and a dollop of sour cream. Rather than making one massive ball, we shape them into small bites to make it simpler for guests to grab.

Delicious! I swapped the olives for a half-cup of chopped red peppers, and since we are big fans of blue cheese, I opted for a 5-ounce tub. It was a hit with the whole crowd. It does produce a significant amount, so you might consider scaling down, though we ended up finishing it all!

The blue cheese taste was overpowering for our household. I might take the advice of others and reduce the amount of blue cheese if I prepare this again.
