Best winter appetizer ever!
I made these penguins for a party recently. Aren't they the cutest? They also taste great!
Olive Penguins
1 can of large olives
1 can of small olives
8oz. cream cheese
1-2 tablespoons of horseradish sauce
salt and pepper to taste
a few large carrots
toothpicks
Cut a slit in each of the large olives. Cut a carrot into slices, then cut a wedge out of each slice to make "feet". Cut small wedges for beaks and push one into each small olive for heads. Mix cream cheese, horseradish, salt, and pepper. Pipe or spoon into each large olive. To assemble, carrot feet on bottom, large cheese filled olive next, then the head; using a toothpick stab through olives into carrot feet to hold it together. This recipe makes about 4 dozen penguins. You can also add an optional pimento scarf if you get a jar of sliced pimentos. Enjoy!

That's awesome! Too cute. Did they take a lot of time to figure out or to assemble? Love it!
ReplyDeleteWell, they took about 2 hours to assemble, but I also did the dishes, nursed a baby, and changed the laundry in that time :)
