Ingredients

  • 24 double-stuffed cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

  • 24 red maraschino cherries with stems, well drained
  • 24 milk chocolate kisses

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.

Great recipe. Make sure you dry the cherries with papertowel before dipping in the melted Chocolate. Adorable and a huge hit at my office party!!!

My daughter brought a Christmas mouse home from a Christmas party 13 years ago and we have made them every Christmas since. We melt chocolate bark to dip the cherries in. One fourth of a pkg will make 3 dozen mice. We set the mice on top of a white-chocolate dipped oreo cookie.

I have made these many times. They are cute on a cookie plate even if you don't use the oreos. I use melted edible paraffin wax with the chocolate chips instead of shortening for all my chocolate dipped cookies and candies - it makes the chocolate smooth and really easy to dip.

I use these wrapped individually in cellophane tied with red ribbon as small gifts to co-workers in my office.

I made these years ago and didn't know where my recipe was. Thank goodness for the internet! Found it in a few minutes compared to looking thru books for hours. I love these little mice and I'm going to make them for our monthly quilting group!

These were fun to make and better to eat. I shared some with my quilt ministry and they all wanted to make them.

Changed theme to Halloween and they delighted everyone. Can hardly wait to make them for Christmas.
