2 teaspoons shortening
24 red maraschino cherries with stems, well drained
24 milk chocolate kisses
48 sliced almonds
1 small tube green decorative icing gel
1 small tube red decorative icing gel
Directions
Carefully twist cookies apart; set aside the halves with cream
filling. Save plain halves for another use.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until
smooth. Holding each cherry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate,
then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss. Place on the cream
filling of cookie, with cherry stem extending beyond cookie edge.
For ears, place slivered almonds between the cherry and kiss.
Refrigerate until set. With green gel, pipe holly leaves on the
cream. With red gel, pipe holly berries between leaves and pipe eyes
on each chocolate kiss. Store in an airtight container at room
temperature.
