"Ingredients:
Large black olives (for body)
Small black olives (for head)
Baby carrots
Mozzarella balls
Toothpicks (handle with care)
Instructions:
I got everything ready then made a penguin assembly line.
Cut each mozzarella ball into about 4 pieces.
Chop baby carrots into thin disks, then cut out a tiny triangle to make feet. Use the cut out triangle to make the beak.
Slice a large olive & slide in a piece of cheese.
Stack the large olive onto the carrot, then a small olive sideways onto the body. Hold them straight and secure with a toothpick. Insert the carrot/beak.
Repeat as many times as you want/need. Enjoy!"

Awww, they're so cute. I remember watching Pingu over and over again when Daniel was little, Eleanor wasn't so keen though.
How adorable! And so tasty. You are quite creative!
Oh my, your penguin appetizers are so cute. What a creative and great idea. Thanks for sharing, have a happy weekend!

Very clever. And sure to make an impression.
My kids love pingu.
Lovely idea.
Thanks

Hi Jo.
These are cute aren't they. Pingu did have quite a following,I think it still does, but of course all children have their favourites. Our youngest grand-daughter was watching it quite recently...

Hello Martha, thank you for your comment.
To be that extra creative you do need to allow time ... so for a special occasion I think these are great.
All the best Jan

Hi Mrs Vimes ... many thanks for your comment.
They are so cute aren't they ... almost seems a shame to eat them, but they taste great!

your herd of penguins is adorable. :)
These are fabulous! I'm pinning them, for a day when I feel like being creative!
Very cute! I'm not familiar with the show.

Hello Linda - many thanks for your comment.
These make a nice change for a party or fun food idea.

I can't bear olives but maybe they should be tolerated when they look this cute!
Thanks for the blast back to the 80's in your recent post. I do like Chariots of Fire, such a good film.

Hi Lisa - many thanks for your comment.
Yes, these do look cute and taste great ... that's if you like olives of course!
With certain party / fun appetiser ideas black grapes could be substituted in place of olives, might not allow the penguin to stand up in this case though ...
It's good to have a blast from the past - glad you enjoyed the recent 80's post here

Enjoy the rest of your week
