How To Make wonderful little cream cheese penguins
-
1Cut a slit in each jumbo olice from top to botton on one side only.
-
2Insert about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese into olive to fill cavity.
-
3Cut small notch out of the carrot slice for form feet.
-
4Press cutout notch into center of small olive to form beak (if necessary, pierce olive with a small paring knife or toothpick to make a hole).
-
5Using a frilled toothpick, stack small olive (head), stuffed jumbo live (body) amd carrot slice (feet), adjusting so the beak, cream cheese breast and notch in carrot slice line up.
-
6(Pinguin will stand better if olives are stacked with the larger hole facing downward).
-
7*Set these perky little party penguins in a bed of crushed ice, and they will look like they've waddled right down from the North Pole.
-
8*Use regular toothpicks in place of the frilled picks. Then attach a small piece of pimiento to toothpick on top of the small olive for a stocking cap.
