1 4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 4 teaspoon onion powder
1 4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs or crushed nuts (optional for coating)
Instructions

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth.
3. Take a small scoop of the seasoned cream cheese and flatten it into a disk.
4. Place one olive in the center and gently mold the cheese around it until fully wrapped.
5. Repeat for all olives, then roll them in chopped herbs, nuts, or extra paprika if desired.
6. Refrigerate the wrapped olives for at least 1 hour to firm up.
7. Serve chilled or slightly at room temperature with toothpicks or on a platter.
Notes
These can be made up to 2 days in advance.
Stuffed olives like garlic or pimento add extra flavor.
To make them even fancier, use different toppings for variety.
