Cream Cheese Penguins image

My kids have just as much fun making these as they do eating them. They are a fun item to take as an appetizer to a holiday party.

Time 20m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

18 large ripe black olives
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 carrot (about 6 inches long and 1 inch in diameter)
18 small ripe black olives
18 frill toothpicks

Steps:

  • Cut a slit lengthwise from top to bottom in each jumbo olive.
  • Fill the cavity of each jumbo olive with about 1 tsp of cream cheese.
  • (this makes the white stripe of your penguins chest) Cut carrot into 1/4 inch slices, then out of each slice cut a small notch (this is your penquin's feet), save the piece you cut out this will become the beak.
  • Cut a small slit in the center of each small olive and press the cut out piece of carrot into the hole with the pointed end out.
  • Using a frill toothpick, stack head (small olive), body (large olive) and feet (carrot slice), adjusting so that beak, cream cheese breast and notch in carrot slice line up.
