• Cut a notch (upside-down V,) in front and in back of the carrot . Your carrot now looks like penguin feet.
• After your eggs have cooled, peel the shell off.
• Take a long toothpick and put it into the center of the "feet".
• Slip the cooled hard boiled egg onto the toothpick, wide side down.
• Slip a short toothpick, through the egg. About half way up the egg.
• Cut a "beak" from a leftover piece of carrot
• Make a small nick in the middle of a jumbo pitted black olive and push the carrot (beak) into the olive.
• Place the olive on top of the toothpick, sticking out of the body, he now has a head!
• Get another black pitted olive and cut it in half.
• Place each half onto the "arms" of the short toothpick, penguin flippers!
• They look great in the middle of a plate of Deviled Eggs.
