RECIPE AND PHOTO SUBMITTED BY MARK MCKINNEY
2 bottles maraschino cherries with the stems attached (yields about 35 mice)
1 pkg milk chocolate chips
1 pkg sliced almonds
1 pkg hershey’s kisses
1. Start by laying out a large area of wax paper and have it ready, also have all your kisses unwrapped and ready, you won’t have time once the chocolate is melted
2. Melt your chocolate chips
3. Take your cherries by the stem and dip them into your melted chocolate
4. Lay the cherry down and attach the kiss to it for form his head (the chocolate should serve as a glue, if it’s not attaching good, dip the blunt end of your kiss in the chocolate to make it adhere better)
5. While the chocolate is still warm grab your almond slices and attach his little ears (they go between the head and the body)
You can add eyes and nose too. On the photo, I used white icing (that was what I have handy at the time :D). Also, if you like to make the mice look really fat, use the chocolate chip for the head instead of hershey kisses. I personally love caramel kisses so that was what I used for my mice. Happy trying!
