A Penguin Sandwich

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I like to make cute food.  Sometimes, I have to admit, the cute food is not the least bit appealing to my children.  This sandwich was one of those foods.  Oh well, I'm going to share it anyway.

I began by using a circle cookie cutter to cut a piece of bread.  You could also use a glass to cut the circle shape.

I covered that circle with tiny trapeze all natural marshmallow creme.  It's like Fluff, but from Whole Foods.

Then I cut another circle out of bread, covered that in chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella) and cut the circle in half to make wings.

A peppermint patty became the head, and I used icing to make the eyes, beak, and feet.  Guess who ate the sandwich?  Me!  I thought it was good!  C ate the peppermint patty though!

Even though the kids didn't want to try my penguin sandwich, they were happy to listen to the book I chose.  Penguin Day by Victoria Winteringham is a fun picture book that follows a colony of penguins from dawn to dusk.  We especially like the silly illustrations of penguins doing laundry, bathing, and making art!!!
