I thought it was very good, but extremely salty. My family apparently loves salt, though, because everyone raved!! I'd make it again, maybe with less olives and garlic.

For those who think it's too salty, you may want to use unsalted butter. Just a thought.

I liked this ok, but evidently my guests did not because hardly anyone ate it. I think I would make it again and leave out the garlic powder.

I made this for christmas I thought it was pretty good. My family didn't seem to like it too much. I think I would make it again for another party.
