Ingredients
  

  • 1 15-oz can black olives

  • 1 large carrot, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
  • toothpicks

Instructions
 

  • Drain the olives and cut a slit from top to bottom, lengthwise, into the side of each olive. Carefully insert the mozzarella ball into the olive to act as the belly.

Chill until ready to serve.
