PENGUINS AND CHEESE BALL IGLOO

Steps:

• 1. Peel the carrot and cut into eighth inch thick circles and cut out a V to resemble the penguins feet. Keep the piece to put in the small black olive as the penguin's beak. Now take the colossal olive and slit down one side so you can put a piece of cream cheese in to represent the penguin's white front. This becomes the body. Take the small V carrot piece, you are going to put it in the small black olive by making a slit in the olive and push in the piece. This becomes the head. Now to assemble; put the long cocktail toothpick through the head into the body and onto the feet. You have 1 Penguin. Make as many as you like. I always make 18 - 24 Penguins. People love to eat them.
• 2. Now for the cheese ball I make my favourite one. It has to be in the shape of an igloo. Put the cheese ball in a small bowl lined with plastic wrap. After set turn the ball onto a platter or board lined with aluminium foil. Take off the plastic wrap. Spread cream cheese over the cheese ball and make lines on it that resembles ice blocks. Make the entrance of the Igloo by making blocks from the cream cheese and attaching them to the cheese ball.
• 3. To assemble it on your platter, make it look how ever you like. I put a Canadian Flag on the top of the Igloo, holly near the door, Christmas trees around etc. So that's why I started using a styrofoam igloo because it looked to cute to eat I was always told.

COOKIE & CANDY PENGUINS

Steps:

• Melt chocolate in microwave according to package directions.
• Dab chocolate onto the top of 6 marshmallows, and top each with one of the remaining 6.
• Leaving a vertical white strip down the middle for the penguin's chest, dip the marshmallow pairs into the chocolate to create the body.
• Attach a chocolate malt ball with a dab of chocolate to the top of each chocolate-covered marshmallow pair - this is the head.
• Use two miniature chocolate chips for the eyes, "gluing" them on with a dab of chocolate (a toothpick is good for this) to the chocolate malt ball.
• Cut the white tips off of the candy corn and use 6 of these white tips for beaks.
• Separate the cream-filled cookies, trying to keep the white cream only on one side.
• Cut the six cookie halves with no cream in half to make the wings. This is one of the trickiest parts, since they seem to want to break easily.
• Use a dab of chocolate to attach the wings on either side of each marshmallow pair. The cut-side should face front.
• Dab some chocolate on the remaining 6 cookie halves with the cream facing upwards and attach at the bottom of each marshmallow penguin.
• Attach the remaining orange and yellow cut pieces of candy corn as feet to the bottom of each marshmallow, and on top of the cookie.
