penguin poppers recipe
When it comes to these delightful little penguins, who can resist playing with their food? These penguin poppers make the perfect holiday appetizer!
Ingredients
- black olives pitted (jumbo and colossal sizes)
- cream cheese
- carrots whole
- appetizer picks long, wooden
Instructions
- Slice both ends of the colossal olives then cut a football shape lengthwise to serve as the penguin's white "belly." Fill the colossal olives with cream cheese and place in the refrigerator to firm up (15–20 minutes).
- Peel and slice carrots into 1/4" discs. Carefully slice a triangular wedge out of carrot discs and insert wedge into hole of jumbo olives to create the penguin's noses.
- Put carrot disc down flat and stand the cream cheese-filled colossal olive on top so carrot "feet" face forward.
- Stack the jumbo olive "head" horizontal on top of the colossal olive body then secure both olives to the carrot base with a long wooden appetizer pick.
- Repeat until all penguins are assembled.
