Not a Creature was Stirring, Not Even a…Chocolate Mouse

That’s right, I said Chocolate Mouse, not mousse.
How cute are they? Keep these Chocolate Mice in mind for your holiday party next year. They’re easy to make and will get you lots of comments. What you’ll need:
- Hershey’s Kisses
- Maraschino Cherries (with the stems intact)
- Shaved Almonds
- Red Food Gel
- Melting Chocolate
Melt the chocolate; dip cherries in chocolate. Push bottom of cherry into bottom of Hershey’s Kiss. Position almond slivers as if they are ears. Use red food gel to make eyes and nose. Place finished mouse on cookie sheet and let chocolate harden.
Soon, you’ll have a whole legion of Chocolate mice. Use white chocolate for the special “albino” effect.
