Penguin Appetizers

Ingredients

2 cans (5.75 ounce each) small,

pitted black olives

2 cans (5.75 ounce each) jumbo,

pitted black olives

1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese

2 large carrots

Toothpick box

Preparation

1. Start by slicing a carrot to create a small, round circle. Cut out a small “slice” from the carrot round and set aside.

2. Using a large pitted black olive and a knife, slice from top to bottom to open the olive up. Use a small spoon or teaspoon scoop to fill the inside of the black olive with slightly softened cream cheese. Try using a cheese knife to smooth out the cream cheese and a napkin to clean off the black olive.

3. Place the cream cheese-filled black olive on top of the carrot round and use a toothpick down the center to secure.

Place the small carrot slice (from step 1) into the hole of a small pitted black olive. Slide the small black olive onto the toothpick to finish your penguin!
