Directions
Perky Olive Penguins, These tuxedo-clad tidbits are actually ripe olives stuffed with a mildly seasoned cream cheese filling., I gave it 4 stars for adorableness. But it took Forever, so plan on that. 1. used a peeler to make a strip of carrot and then cut triangles of it, for the beaks. Try to make good triangles or it will look like a tongue. 2. I cut bigger red pepper triangles for the hats. 3. I cut not just slits but rectangles out of the larger olives to stuff the cream cheese in, but try not to cut through the top and bottom. or they can get crushed more easily when you put them on the toothpicks. 4. I did cut a slit below midway on the little olive to put the beak in. 5. I cut the feet and poked a hole where the toothpick would go close to the front for balance so I didn’t have to press on the top too hard later. 6. I pushed the hat onto the toothpick, placed the head on, then the body, careful not to squash it when you press it together, then into the hole in the feet. Voila, 2 hours later I had 20 penguins! Well…. maybe an hour and a half, I lost track of time, but forget 10 minutes., What did you use for the hat.
