    Easy Babybel Cheese Penguins

    Ingredients (makes 6): 

    • 6 pack mini Babybel cheese
    • ¼ carrot
    • 12 edible candy eyeballs
    • 1 tsp cream cheese (optional)

    How to make quick and easy Babybel cheese penguins - fun party food idea for kids

    Equipment:

    • round mini bento cutter

    Method: 

    Peel the outer wrapping from each cheese, leaving the wax intact.

    Using a small circle cutter, cut a circle from the top of each cheese (see photos and videos for the positioning of the cutter) and carefully remove.

    Cut the carrot into slices around 3-5mm thick, then cut triangles from the carrot slices for the beaks.

    Add two edible candy eyeballs and one carrot triangle to each cheese to turn it into a penguin.

    Use the cream cheese as 'glue' to attach them if you'd like them to be a little more secure.

    Serve on a plate or platter and enjoy!
