Adorable Penguin Appetizers
By Alqualonde
These funny birds in fancy clothes
may waddle in the snow,
but when they reach the icy sea
just watch how fast they go!
Ingredients
- 18 jumbo ripe Black olives
- 18 small ripe Black olives
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 1 carrot (about 6 inches long and 1 inch wide)
- 18 long fresh chives
- 18 frill toothpicks (or plain)
Details
Preparation
Step 1
Cut a slit lengthwise from top to bottom in each jumbo olive
Fill each cavity of the jumbo olives with about a teaspoon of cream cheese
(I piped it in using a #12 tip)
This makes the the white stripe in penguins chest. Cut carrot into 1/4 inch slices,then out of each slice cut a small pie shaped piece. This makes the feet, save the piece you cut out, this will be the beak
In the x slit in the center of each small olive (where the pit was removed) press the small 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 line up.
Tie chive around neck for the scarf.
