Cream Cheese Penguins
Just imagine a cute display of penguins, made with black olives, carrots and cream cheese! You can add scarves and hats by using fresh red pepper strips, or canned pimentos cut into different shapes. Use frilly toothpicks if you can.
Each extra-large olive should have a slit made into the side from top to bottom.
Place a small amount of cream cheese—about 1 teaspoon—into each olive.
Cut the carrot into rounds that are each 18 1/4 inches thick, and make a tiny notch in each round to create feet.
To create the beak, save the cutout piece and press it into the small olive’s centre.
Before putting the beak into each olive, if necessary, make a tiny slit in it.
