Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Roll the cream cheese ball in the chopped pecans until it's fully coated.
- Place the coated bites on a plate or tray.
- Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Serve the cream cheese and olive pecan bites chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer or a party snack.
Tips:
- For a smoother consistency, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
- Toast the pecans in the oven or on a skillet for extra flavor and crunch.
- Chop the olives finely to ensure they are evenly distributed within the bites.
- Adjust the amount of black pepper to your taste preference.
