Chocolate cherry mice!

[amethyst-heart.livejournal.com]

As Thanksgiving and Christmas draw near, a lot of us are wanting to make tasty treats for friends and family. I've have been making a candy for a few years now that's always a hit.... it's very easy and very cute.

Materials:
-Hershey Kisses
-cherries with stems
-melted chocolate
-almond chips
-decorating frosting or gel
-wax paper


Directions:
-Dip a cherry into the chocolate and put it on the wax paper on its side (so that the stem is sticking out sideways)
-attach a Hershey Kiss to the cherry on the opposite end from the stem, pointed end out, making a body with a tail and a head.
-add two almond chips between the cherry and Kiss, making ears.
-allow to sit for a while so the melted chocolate can harden.
-use frosting or gel to add a face.


I have a pic to share as an example:





I also have made frosted brownies decorated like presents. They're fun:
