Merry Christmas Mice

I found this on a friend's blog and fell in love with it. I think it is super cute!

Merry Christmas Mice

• 1 maraschino cherry with stem
• 1 chocolate candy kiss
• Chocolate almond bark or dipping chocolate
• 2 peanut halves
• 1 tiny red candy ball
• 2 silver dragées (candy balls)

1. Melt almond bark in the microwave or in a double boiler.
2. Dip cherry into melted almond bark by holding stem. Place on waxed paper.
3. Immediately stick unwrapped flat end of the chocolate kiss onto end of chocolate covered cherry.
4. Use a toothpick to place a small amount of chocolate on the sides of the chocolate kiss and attach the silver dragées to make eyes.
5. Place red ball on tip of kiss to create the nose.
6. Dip end of peanut halves in almond bark and place between cherry and chocolate kiss to make the ears.
7. Place in freezer for a few minutes to set. Place mice in paper liners if desired.
