Scottiemom,
I made the Olive Cheese balls yesterday. I used exact measurements for everything in the recipe. I was careful to use only 1 tsp. of dough for each olive, and instead of 48, I got 65 of those little morsels! Perhaps the difference was because I bought an 8 oz. block of very sharp cheddar and shredded it myself. Store-packaged cheese may say it contains 2 cups of shredded cheddar, but I think it's less than 8 oz. And that must have made the difference in volume. They are good, but very labor intensive.
