When I was little, one of my cousins convinced me to try California Black Ripe Olives and I immediately fell in love. My younger sister jokes about how I used to give black olives as a reward for good behavior when I was the “teacher” playing school. My love for black olives is still alive and well, so today I’m excited to share a fun, kid-friendly holiday recipe for Reindeer Snacks that include California Black Ripe Olives and will makes kids smile!
