Penguin Snacks

One of my friends loves penguins and his birthday is this weekend. Came across these snacks earlier in the week and made him some. I think they turned out pretty well.
Take a jumbo (pitted) black olive, slice it lengthwise and fill it with cream cheese.
Put a small (pitted) black olive and put it on top of the jumbo.
Slice a carrot and cut out a wedge.
Take a toothpick and run it through the olives to the carrot to secure all the pieces.
Slice the small olive and stick the carrot wedge in there for a beak.

Cute idea and good results : ) Hopefully he likes them.

  1. How cute would they be with little scarves for a winter snack?

    Next time I think I'll make strips of red and green peppers and twist them around the necks.

  2. those are too freaking adorable and also look like something my clumsy thumbs would squish in seconds.
    I'm sorry, I'm just now getting around to peering at your blog. It's so wonderfully you! I've missed so many Ashley-things!
