  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs, divided
  • 1/3 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 18 pieces black shoestring licorice (2 inches each)

Directions

  • 1. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Stir in 1 cup wafer crumbs and sour cream. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour or until firm enough to shape.
  • 2. Place remaining 1 cup wafer crumbs in a shallow bowl. For each mouse, roll about 1 tablespoon chilled chocolate mixture into a ball; taper 1 end to resemble a mouse.
