I wish I had read all the reviews before I attempted these; there are some great hints. They are sooo cute and were a smash hit. I did not buy the largest olives,colossal; I bought large like it said. Next time I will use the largest available! Therefore trimming the carrot for the nose and the pepper for the scarves were tedious. I used good seasons dry spicy Italian dressing in the cream cheese for seasoning then used the left over as a veggie dip. But the finished product was cute as heck and went over well. People agreed to take them home but would not eat them!

I searched around for a unique recipe, and i chose this one. The only changes were due to availability. I may not have won the cook off, but I had many compliments and a recipe I will make again! Thanks for posting it.
