Ingredients

How to make it

  • Blend together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dry ranch mix.
  • Stir in pecans and olives.
  • Spread onto pieces of bread, crusts removed, or on mini cocktail rye bread slices.
  • Cut bread into shapes with cookie cutters, if desired (yes, this creates waste, but it's very difficultt to spread the mixture over already cut shapes and keep the shape from becoming distorted as you spread, so I prefer to spread first, then cut into shapes, then save the "scraps" for the kids!) .
  • This is also very good used as a “stuffing” for celery sticks or on hearty crackers.
  • NOTE: you may find it easier if you chill the spread for an hour or more before spreading it onto the bread.
  • NOTE: I've never tried this with different olives, but I plan to try it with garlic stuffed olives this year - I don't think the flavors would go with jalapeno stuffed olives, but hey...experiment and let me know what you like!

    Yikes, Mom, I think this after school snack lead to childhood obesity;) But it is darn good.
    As an adult, it's a great salty snack. Most recently it was delicious after I had a few too many to drink the night before!!!

    Good morning Krum, Its been a while since I have sent you a message this way. I gave you a 5 for this little snack. And I flagged it as interesting. I just love pumpernickle bread. I make a bread pudding with it, and I posted it in my recipes (Black Forest Bread Pudding, if you want to check it out). Have a wonderful day...Cheryl

    Mmmmm! Can you please send some pumpernickle and also some flavored seltzer to California? This is not merely the "land of fruits and nuts" but we are so deprived. Here in the Bay Area they OD on sourdough. Bring on that divine pumpernickle and go to town with this snack.
