Mice image

Kids love them. I did growing up -- my mom use to make these around Christmas time, but great for anytime! You can make as many as you want. They are great to look at.

Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces chocolate confectioners' coating
20 red maraschino cherries with stems
3 tablespoons blanched slivered almonds
20 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
40 small red decorating candies (dragees)

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Chop the confectioners' coating into chunks, and place into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the coating in the microwave oven on High for 30 seconds; then heat again 4 or 5 more times for 10 to 15 seconds each time until the coating is warm (not hot) and melted. Stir well until the chocolate coating is smooth and free of lumps. The coating should be about 95 degrees F (35 degrees C).
  • Dry the cherries well with paper towels. Holding each cherry by the stem, dip it into the chocolate coating to just reach the bottom of the stem. Carefully lay the cherry on its side, so the stem sticks out the side. This will be the tail. Before the coating sets up, stick the flat side of an unwrapped chocolate kiss opposite the tail, to make a pointy-nosed face. Pick out two nicely shaped slivers of almond, and insert them between the chocolate kiss and the dipped cherry to make little ears. Use a toothpick to make two small dots of melted coating on the face for eyes; stick two little red candies to the coating dots. Repeat with the rest of the cherries. Allow the coating to set until firm and cool, about 30 minutes.

This recipe was a disaster! The mice were tough and chewy, and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The mice were a little gamey for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different type of meat, such as chicken or pork.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing! The mice were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This mouse recipe was surprisingly delicious! I was skeptical at first, but the flavors all came together perfectly. The mice were tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again!
