Day Eight: Chocolate Mice

This really isn't something you bake, but they sure are fun to make!

What you will need:

Maraschino cherries, with the stems
Chocolate chips
Hershey's Kisses
Sliced Almonds
White Cookie Icing
Wax paper

Directions:

1. Drain maraschino cherries and place on dry paper towels. Melt the bag of chocolate chips, either on a double broiler or in the microwave. Dip cherries in chocolate and place on wax paper.

2. Once the chocolate has hardened dab a little on the bottom side of an unwrapped Hershy's kiss and place on the cherry to make the head.

3. Slide two slices of almonds between the Hershy's kiss and the chocolate cherry to make the ears. Next dab to dots of white icing on the Hershy's kiss to make the eyes and finish with a smaller dab of chocolate.

Enjoy!
