Celebrate National Penguin Day with These Easy Nutter Butter Penguins
Penguins! There is just something about those little black and white waddling animals that just makes everyone who sees one fall in love with them, especially my Gracie. And when the movie, Happy Feet came out, it just gave you more reasons to love them. I mean who bunch of adorable penguins singing Somebody to Love, how could you know fall in love? Even the penguins in Madagascar even though they were trying to take over the world still endeared themselves to audiences.
That little waddle is just so cute. But did you know that January 20th is National Penguin Day? You didn’t, well it stands to reason that if everything else has a national holiday, why shouldn’t penguins? So today I am bringing a cute little treat that incorporates one of my all-time favorite cookies, Nutter Butters.
