BLACK OLIVE PENGUINS

INGREDIENTS 

• Jumbo Pitted Black Olives 
• Medium Pitted Black Olives 
• Soft Cream Cheese 
• One Can of Sliced Carrots • Cheese knife 
• Toothpicks 

DIRECTIONS 

1. Cut the jumbo olive lengthwise to create the slit that will become the tuxedo shirt. 
2. Using a small cheese knife, fill the tummy of the penguin with cream cheese.  This may work best if the cream cheese is at room temperature. 
3. Wipe the excess cream cheese off the olive with a damp cloth or sponge. 
4. Cut a wedge out of a carrot slice to create feet. We used canned carrots because they are not too hard. 
5. Place the small carrot wedge in the opening of the medium olive to create a beak. 
6. Assemble the penguin by pushing a toothpick through the head, body, and feet.  Place your completed penguins on a serving tray.
