These use Chocolate-Covered Cherry Mice(recipe previously posted). These are easy to make and a great project to do with children. No baking required, just use Hershey's chocolate kisses, double stuffed Oreos, maraschino cherries and chocolate chips to "build" your Christmas mice!

Steps:
- Carefully twist Oreo cookies apart. Set aside the ones with the cream filling on them; save plain halves for another use. (You could make crumbs for pie crust).
- In microwave, melt chocolate chip, paraffin and butter; stir until smooth.
- Holding cherry by stem, dip in melted chocolate, then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss.
- Place cherry and kiss onto the cream filling of the cookie. Let stem extend over the edge.
- Make ears for your mouse by placing sliced almonds between the cherry and the kiss (before the chocolate sets).
- Place in refrigerator until chocolate sets.
- With green decorative gel, pipe holly leaves on white cream of cookie by the mouse.
- Pipe holly berries between the leaves with the red gel.
- Pipe eyes on each chocolate kiss.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature.
- TIPS:.
- I used Almond Bark instead of the chocolate chips and eliminated the need for shortening.
- Maraschino cherries need to have stems and be well-drained.
- Keep chocolate hot by putting in a bowl over a steaming pan of water.
- I used a teapot, took the lid off and placed my bowl over it after melting chocolate in microwave.
- You can use a clean eyebrow tweezer or something else to grasp the cherries by the stems to dunk in chocolate.
- Make extras because everyone at your party will want one to take home to show around and to use as a pattern to make their own!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate is a good choice.
- Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully. Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
- Use a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small hole cut in the corner to make the chocolate mice. This will give you more control over the shape and size of the mice.
- If the chocolate is too thick to pipe, you can add a little bit of vegetable oil to thin it out.
- Work quickly when dipping the chocolate mice in the melted chocolate. The chocolate will start to set quickly, so you don't want to take too long.
- Place the dipped mice on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will make them easy to remove once the chocolate has set.
- Refrigerate the chocolate mice for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to set completely.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mice are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create chocolate mice that are sure to impress your friends and family.
