These quick and easy penguin Valentine’s Day treats are SO cute! Free Valentine’s Day printables included for a sweet Valentine’s Day gift idea.
Penguin Valentine’s Day Treats
These adorable Valentine’s Day penguins are made with store-bought brownie bites for a quick and easy Valentine’s Day treat. They’d be perfect for Valentine’s Day parties, class treats, or just a fun Valentine’s Day project to do with the kiddos!
You can just make them on their own or add a paper straw and printable Valentine’s Day tag for a fun Valentine’s Day pop. Everything is better on stick, right? lol!
Ingredients
- two bite brownies
- cookie icing {this self-levels nicely and will harden}
- chocolate wafers
- candy eyes
- Starburst orange candy or other orange gummy candy
- paper straw
- free Valentine’s Day printable tags
- scissors/paper trimmer
- double sided tape
INSTRUCTIONS
- Using cookie icing, create a kidney shaped area on your two-bite brownie.
- Cut your orange candy into a triangle and place in the dip of the kidney shape for the beak.
- Place a drop of icing on the back of the candy eyes and add on either side of the beak.
- If you want to add wings, use a bread knife to gently cut chocolate wafers into your desired shape. Place on top of the icing before it hardens.
- Twist a paper straw gently into the middle of the brownie. Trim the straw to your desired size.
- Download and print out the penguin tags.
- Trim the tags down using a paper cutter or scissors. Fold each one in half and then snip off the ends with scissors.
- Write on the back of the tag if you would like.
- Attach the tag using a strip of double sided tape {or glue if you don’t have tape}.
