Cute Edible Mice to Make With Your Family and Give As Gifts

 So I am not so fond of mice but these mice are a big hit!  Easy to make and tasty too they make the perfect teacher or neighbor gift for this yuletide time of year.  Here is what you will need to make these yummy candy cookies.

Christmas Mice

*Package of filled cookies

*Chocolate Kisses

*Sliced almonds (for ears)

*Maraschino cherries with stems

*Dipping Chocolate

*Icing 

      

Melt your chocolate on the stove top in a pan which sits in a pan of boiling water (stirring often to make sure it won't burn) or use your microwave.  Then dip cherries.  Put a chocolate kiss next to the dipped cherry with the stem of the cherry sticking straight out behind.

Add the sliced almonds behind the chocolate kiss for ears and then set the mouse on a half of a cookie.  Take a small tube of icing and add a nose and add a mouth.  You can use white or dark chocolate to make your cute Christmas mice.  Get creative!

Gather your children because these are so much fun to make.  Everyone will have a good time and then you can surprise neighbors or teachers or anyone you like with these  festive Christmas treats!
