I like to make this during the holidays, using cookie cutters to cut the bread into holiday shapes. My daughters loved this as a snack after school. Easy, quick, few ingredients - what more could you ask?

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (do not use salad dressing - it's too sweet for this)
  • 1 tablespoon dry Ranch Dressing powder
  • ½ cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup finely chopped pimento-stuffed green olives
  • dark rye, pumpernickel, or any bread of your choice

Directions
  1. Blend together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dry ranch mix.
  2. Stir in pecans and olives.
  3. Spread onto pieces of bread, crusts removed, or on mini cocktail rye bread slices.
  4. 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!) .
  5. This is also very good used as a “stuffing” for celery sticks or on hearty crackers.
  6. NOTE: you may find it easier if you chill the spread for an hour or more before spreading it onto the bread.
  7. 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!

I've bookmarked this one for after school snacks for my grandkids.


OK, now I want this RIGHT NOW, I love these tid bits (I call them that).... sooooo good!! yummm


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.


Okay, I'm nuts enough to eat olives for breakfast, this will be on my bagel tomorrow!


Yummy Krum! :)


Okay, this deserves a comment if for no other reason than the name! Priceless! Would be great finger food for a party ... great post! :-)


This sounds great. now if they only made gluten- free pumpernickle I would be in heaven!!


Sounds like a hit for a christmas party ! i imagine little angels and bells cut out ....maybe candy cane shaped ones too !


Sounds wonderful! =)

Great recipe


I've never seen a recipe like this before. Thanks for a new recipe, Krumkake! This is really unique!


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


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!!!
