Cut a slit from top to bottom, lengthwise, into the side of each jumbo olive. Carefully insert about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese into each olive. Slice the carrot into eighteen 1/4 inch thick rounds; cut a small notch out of each carrot slice to form feet. Save the cut out piece and press into center of small olive to form the beak. If necessary cut a small slit into each olive before inserting the beak.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. Set a big olive, large hole side down, onto a carrot slice. Then, set a small olive onto the large olive, adjusting so that the beak, cream cheese chest and notch in the carrot slice line up. Secure with a toothpick. Cut small triangles to create the bowties.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Instead of the carrot bowtie, I use a small piece of fresh chive to wrap a scarf - too cute!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Make a double batch - they go fast!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;" /></P> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 05:01:29 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468359#M27990 NaturalBornWoman 2014-11-24T05:01:29Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468364#M27991 <P>That's penguin - can't edit my typo!</P> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 05:14:46 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468364#M27991 NaturalBornWoman 2014-11-24T05:14:46Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468371#M27992 <P>Too cute! I need a vegan appetizer and could use vegan cream cheese. Love the chive idea too, thanks.</P> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 07:01:00 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468371#M27992 tucsongal 2014-11-24T07:01:00Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468375#M27993 <P>I was a guest at a friends for Thanksgiving a few years ago. Her younger daughter made these. She had them on a plate out as an appetizer, along with a few other things. Presentation was amazing. It was one of the first things that caught my eye as I walked in. These we delicious. </P> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 08:03:11 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468375#M27993 Lynnj 2014-11-24T08:03:11Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468379#M27994 <P>Really really cute but time-consuming to construct, I would imagine!

They really don't take a lot of time. I gather all the ingredients and just go for it. They are fun to do.</P> <P>I used Boursin cheese for the filling. Cutting up the carrots was easy too. I even made a cute little igloo to go with them. Have a wonderful Holiday!</P> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 15:52:05 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468389#M27996 phluphy 2014-11-24T15:52:05Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468394#M27997 <P>I made these last year for Christmas. They were a big hit on the appetizer table. They are a little tedious to make but they are so cute and they even taste good.</P> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 16:33:13 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468394#M27997 fleetwood 2014-11-24T16:33:13Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468399#M27998 <BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN class="quote_author">lOn 11/24/2014 <STRONG>gonnab</STRONG> said:</SPAN> <P>Really really cute but time-consuming to construct, I would imagine!

Takes about 20 minutes for a double batch . . .watch the video which includes using a baggie for piping the cream cheese. I love to play with food!</P> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 16:40:15 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Cream-Cheese-Penquin-Appetizers/m-p/1468399#M27998 NaturalBornWoman 2014-11-24T16:40:15Z
