Adorable Cream Cheese & Olive Appetizers!

A fun party appetizer from Organic Valley that isn’t just adorable but tasty too!

Ingredients:

1 package (8 ounce) Organic Valley® Cream Cheese, softened

1or 2 carrots

Large black olives

Toothpicks

Directions:

1. Slice carrots into rounds and cut out a triangle from each to make “feet.” Reserve these removed pieces to make “beaks” later.

2. Cut out a narrow, lengthwise wedge from a large olive and trim the bottom so it stands upright. Fill the gap in the olive with cream cheese.

3. Trim the extra pieces of carrot into beak shapes and poke them into the sides of another olive (use a toothpick or paring knife to make hole).

4. Assemble! Stick a toothpick into the center of the carrot “feet.” Add the large olive “body” (flat side down), then the olive “head.” Leave the rest of the toothpick sticking out of your penguins so guests can grab their snacks easily. Enjoy!
