Yield 12 penguins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (5 3/4 ounce) can jumbo pitted ripe olives, drained
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/4 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1 medium carrot, cut into 1/4 inch slices
12 small pitted ripe olives
12 toothpicks, with cellophane frilled tops
1 (2 ounce) jar sliced pimientos

Steps:

  • Cut a slit from the top to the bottom of 12 jumbo olives; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the next six ingredients; mix well.
  • Fill a small heavy-duty plastic bag with cream cheese mixture.
  • Cut a small hole in the corner of the plastic bag; carefully pipe mixture into jumbo olives.
  • Set aside.
  • Cut a small triangle out of each carrot slice; press triangles into small olives for a beak.
  • On each notched carrot slice, position a jumbo olive so the white chest is lined up with the notch for the feet.
  • Place the small olive, hole side down, over the jumbo olive so the beak, chest and feet are aligned.
  • Carefully insert a toothpick through the top of the head into the body and carrot base.
  • Wrap a pimento around the neck for a scarf.
