Three Not so Blind Mice

By Vanetta

The cutest, delicate mice you ever saw! Everyone remarks about them. I give trays of assorted cookies each year and place them on top. They just make it! It actually is a help when the kids can put on the almonds. I don't remember where I got the recipe, so I gave the best measurements I can recall. It sounds like it could be a Hershey's recipe!? For adults you can strain the cherries, then add rum or almond liquor and soak overnight drain and dry proceed with recipe. Save the rum for drinks.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained dried on paper towel
• 1 (10 ounce) bag miniature chocolate chips (optional for the eyes)
• 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate
• 2 ounces paraffin wax
• 1 (10 ounce) bag sliced almonds
• 5 ounces white icing
• 1 (16 ounce) bag Hershey's chocolate kisses

Preparation

Step 1

1 Melt chocolate and paraffin double boiler. 2 Dip whole cherry holding tail, set on waxed paper. 3 Attach one kiss to opposite end of tail, it`ll be the head. 4 Make sure the tail lies along the waxed paper. 5 Don`t forget it`s to be a mouse. 6 Then put almonds for ears between chocolate kiss and cherries. 7 Tube tiny eyes above the nose then apply mini kisses over icing.
