Chocolate Cherry Christmas Mice

Not a creature was stirring, not even a MOUSE! ย These Chocolate Cherry Christmas Mice are an adorable candy recipe for Christmas, and a great addition to your dessert or snack table. ย Chocolate Cherry Christmas Mice areย very easy to make. ย Just your classic chocolate-covered cherries, decked out as mice with Hershey's Kisses and almond slices.

A note about these elusive cherries with stems- I checked THREE stores for them until I figured out I was probably looking in the wrong place! Here I thought they'd be next to the cherries without stems in the baking section. ย However, I found them lurking next to the sundae supplies with the chocolate and caramel syrup. ย So if you're having trouble finding these, check by the chocolate syrup!

Ingredients

  • Jar of Maraschino Cherries with stems
  • 6-8 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
  • almond slices
  • Hershey's Kisses or Kisses Minis
  • wax paper
  • Optional: small bar of white chocolate or white candy melts for eyes and nose and a toothpick

Instructions

  • Drain cherries and pat dry with paper towels. They need to be dry for the chocolate to stick.
  • Place chocolate, broken or cut into small pieces, into a small mixing bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted, stirring after each interval. Lay out your wax paper while you're waiting.
  • Have your cherries, almond slices, and kisses ready to go for this part. Dip cherries in chocolate (fully coat) and place on wax paper with the "tails" (stems) diagonally (Not straight up and down). Just do 5-8 cherries before moving on to the next step.
  • Place 2 almond slices on the opposite end of the cherry from the stem. These will be your ears. Place a Kiss on top of the almond slices for the head. If the Kiss doesn't stick well, it's likely that the chocolate dried too much or there's not enough. Just dab a little chocolate on the Kiss and place it on that way.
  • Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you run out of cherries.
  • I waited for the chocolate to fully set for this part, but if you're less clumsy than me, you can do this right away. Melt the white chocolate in a small mixing bowl using the same method as in step 2. Dip a toothpick in the white chocolate and dab on the "head" for eyes and nose.
