Assembling these merry mice is so much fun that the kids will definitely want to help. My daughter gave me the recipe, along with a warning...your guests just might think these treats are too cute to eat!

Just thought it would be a good time to mention this about these mice treats. I once included a couple in a treat box I gave to the people at our pet's boarding kennel, they thought the mice were so wonderful that they saved one on the check-in counter for all to admire.

We love this recipe! I is so easy and so much fun to make...I did not use the Oreo Cookies....I just made the "mice" and used candy gift boxes to place them in for a nice presentation....everyone loved them!

I've made these a few times now and love how quick and easy they are. (Not to meantion yummy.) I leave off the cookie part of it and use them as Halloween mice.
