This old-fashioned snack is a Southern grandmother specialty.
A dash of this, a sprinkle of that.
It all starts with a block of cream cheese, as so many delicious Southern recipes do.

Cream Cheese And Olive Spread Is The Perfect Appetizer
As kids, it grossed us out.
I’ll do my best to describe my grandmother’s off-the-cuff recipe below.
How To Make It
Start with2 blocks of cream cheese, softened.
Roughly chop around1 cup or 1.5 cups of pimiento-stuffed olives.
Add chopped pimiento-stuffed olives to the cream cheese.
Feel free to double the recipe, which she usually does.
you could put it on bread for a makeshift sandwich, or turn it into shower-worthy tea sandwiches.
It’s the easiest spread you’ll ever make, and it pleases the crowd.
Except for olive haters, bless their hearts.
