Time 40m

Yield 1-24 Penguins20, 1-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 hard-boiled eggs
2 fat carrots
4 long toothpicks
4 short toothpicks (or regular size)
1 (6 ounce) can jumbo pitted black olives

Steps:

Hard boil as many eggs as you would like Penguins.
Clean a "fat" carrot (first removing the green) and cut about an inch off the carrot from the top.
Cut a notch (upside-down V,) in front and in back of the carrot . Your carrot now looks like penguin feet.
After your eggs have cooled, peel the shell off.
Take a long toothpick and put it into the center of the "feet".
Slip the cooled hard boiled egg onto the toothpick, wide side down.
Slip a short toothpick, through the egg. About half way up the egg.
Cut a "beak" from a leftover piece of carrot
Make a small nick in the middle of a jumbo pitted black olive and push the carrot (beak) into the olive.
Place the olive on top of the toothpick, sticking out of the body, he now has a head!
Get another black pitted olive and cut it in half.
Place each half onto the "arms" of the short toothpick, penguin flippers!
They look great in the middle of a plate of Deviled Eggs.
No two penguins look alike and everyone loves them.
Get creative, give them a scarf or cut the beak so that it's open".
(Safety Note) Watch the toothpicks around kids, they will want to eat the penguins.
(Second Safety Note) Watch the adults too.
