Nutty Penguins

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Made from white Jordan almonds dipped in melted chocolate, a pair of penguins waddle across sweet snowdrifts. A candy-cane pole is a fine place for a sign (secure with double-sided tape). Melt 4 ounces semisweet chocolate (see page 323); cool slightly. Using kitchen tweezers, dip one almond at a time in melted chocolate (leave part under tweezers uncoated). Use a toothpick to dot on melted-chocolate eyes and buttercream to attach a long orange sprinkle beak and tiny pieces of gummy fish for feet. Spread buttercream over cupcake; dip in sanding sugar, then sprinkle more on top. Place two penguins and a candy cane sign on top.
