Playful Polar Penguin Pals

January 20, 2020

Penguins that are too cute to eat, who can resist?! With all of this cold weather, these are the cutest little snack to put together when you're stuck at home. Easy & cute!

Ingredients

10 Double Stuff Oreo cookies (more needed if you're adding wings)

2 cubes white almond bark (about 3.2 oz.)

2 small zippered plastic bags

20 small round chocolate candy sprinkles or mini chocolate chips

2 T. white ready-to-use frosting

Orange paste food coloring

Directions

Remove any crumbs from cookies. Set cookies on edge to determine which side should be the bottom of each penguin if you want to display them standing upright. Lay cookies flat on waxed paper. If wings will be added, separate several additional cookies and remove filling; using a sharp knife, cut narrow slices from edges. Cut each slice in half to make two small wing shapes.

Melt almond bark according to package directions; let cool about 1 minute. Transfer melted bark to a plastic bag and cut a tiny corner from the bag. Pipe a small bead of bark onto cookie to outline white area; fill in with more bark and tap cookie gently on counter to smooth. Attach two candy sprinkles on wet bark for eyes. Attach wide end of wings to wet bark. Set aside to dry.

In a small bowl, tint frosting with food coloring until desired shade is reached. Transfer frosting to a separate plastic bag and cut a tiny corner from bag. On each penguin, pipe a small triangular nose and two feet. When dry, stand penguins up on edge, if desired.
