How to Make Chocolate Christmas Mice

When I was in Elementary School, I always begged my mom to make chocolate Christmas mice for my school Christmas party.

All of my friends thought they were so cool, and I thought I was an artist while I was making them. If we were really being festive, we would put them in a container and set them up to look like real Christmas mice.

Seriously though, look how cute they are. I hope you enjoy this recipe for Blogmas Day 12!

Ingredients

12 Maraschino cherries with stems

1/2 cup chocolate bark

12 Hershey kisses

24 almond slices

1/8 cup white chocolate bark (for the eyes)

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

2. Melt chocolate bark in a bowl according to instructions on the package

3. Dip each cherry into the melted chocolate and then lay onto the paper.

4. Take a chocolate kiss and place it (flat side, opposite end of the stem) of the chocolate cherry
