Trust me- these tasty little cuties will disappear quickly enough on their own! And, they are easy to make to boot! People look at them and are amazed, thinking they took greuling hours on end to create, but it is just the opposite- there is no baking, no fuss, and hardly any mess to clean up once you are done! Sound too good to be true? Would I lie to you?
Aw, how precious!
So, here is how it's done:
What you need:
-As many Hershey kisses and cherries as mice you want to make. You will need one maraschino cherry (WITH STEM ATTACHED- I bought ones without stems and awkwardly had to exchange them the next day) and one kiss per mouse
-1 bag of semi-sweet or milk chocolate morsels
-1 tube decorating gel (whatever color you please. I used red, as you can see)
-1 bag sliced almonds
-Perafin wax (I did not have any so I used a tiny bit of shortening to get the melted chocolate at the correct consistency)
How to make:
-Melt the chocolate morsels and shortening/wax in a microwave-safe bowl. It takes about 2 minutes, but remember to stir at around 30-second intervals
-Dip the cherries into the chocolate and place onto aluminum foil
-After placing each cherry onto the foil, attach the unwrapped Hershey kiss as the head. Then, attach the almonds between the chocolate-covered cherry and the kiss, ensuring you do so while the chocolate is still wet
-Use the gel to make the face on the mouse
-Repeat until all cherries are used or until you get sick of making them
-Allow the mice to sit until their cute little chocolate bodies harden
-Serve and watch them disappear!
