 Winter has hit and we're smack dab in the middle of holiday season. It's a season of treats and sweets and lots of eating. And today I have a little snack that is so perfect to celebrate this cold weather and to share with others when you go to social events this holiday season. I've got some little penguins that are so fun to make for adults and children and they're really fun to eat too. I'll show you how simple they are to make. First of all, you need some round crackers. I like to use the little round rice crackers. I've got some black olives that I've cut in half. I put them on some paper towels so that they would dry a little bit before I use them. I've got some black peppercorns for the eyes and I just took some thin slices of carrot, round slices and just kept cutting it, cutting it into tiny little triangles for the beak. And then some almonds that I cut. So I guess I cut them in half crosswise and those are going to be the little feet. And then you need something to spread on the cracker to use as your glue to hold all the pieces on. So you can use some softened cream cheese or a flavored cream cheese spread. I'm using one of my favorite spreads today. And you want it to be nice and soft so that it's easy to spread on the cracker and that's the first thing you need to do. And then I'm going to put it on my work surface because it's easier to work with. And first I guess I'll put my little feet right down at the bottom. And then I'm going to put my wings on and that's going to be my olives. So you'll want to put those right on the sides. And for people who don't care for olives, you can use almonds for wings. And then the eyes are little black peppercorns. And then we have to put our little beak on, of course. There you go. That's all there is to it. This is a fun project for the whole family to work on together and they're really fun to eat but what you need to know is for the best flavor, you should pop the whole thing into your mouth at once and that way you get the little crunch of the black peppercorn, that salty olive. They're so good. So pop it in and enjoy. Celebrate winter. I'm Sue Dodin sharing good food for Good Life 365.
