Notes

  • Use whipped cream cheese for the easiest assembly. It spreads smoothly and helps hold the olive spiders in place.
  • Pat the olives dry with a paper towel before assembling to prevent excess moisture from making the crackers soggy.
  • Serve soon after assembling for the best texture. If making ahead, prepare the olive pieces in advance and assemble just before serving.
