Chocolate and cherry mice are the most beautiful Christmas gifts of all time! A chocolate-covered cherry with an added Hershey Kiss that looks like a mouse – so much fun for the kids to do for the holidays!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening
20 Maraschino cherries with stems
20 Hershey chocolate kisses
40 sliced almonds
1 tube of white glaze
1 black glazing tube
INSTRUCTIONS
In the microwave, melt the chocolate pieces and the butter together over a low heat for 1 minute. Stir until smooth.
Holding a cherry by the stem, dip it in the chocolate and then press a chocolate kiss over the cherry (this will be the head). Put almond slices between the cherry and the chocolate kiss to make the ears.
Place them on waxed paper until the chocolate hardens. Add a couple of dots of white icing for the eyes, and then put some black icing on top for the pupil.
