Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter and vanilla until blended; gradually beat in the icing sugar. Stir in cereal. Shape into 1 inch balls tapering at one end to look like mice. Position almonds on heads for ears and refrigerate until chilled.

In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the candy coating and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip the mice into coating; place on waxed paper lined baking sheets. Immediately insert licorice for tails. Add red dots for eyes and M&M's for noses. Sprinkle with black sugar and refrigerate until set.
