Ingredients:
For the mice:
1 package of Oreos
1 package of Hershey's Kisses
1 bag of slivered almonds
1 bag of mini chocolate chips
1 tube of red decorating icing
1 bag of mini pretzel sticks
1 bag of black decorating icing
For the dipping sauce:
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1 tablespoon of butter
Before you begin, make sure to preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Instructions:
Step 1: Assemble the mice
Twist apart the Oreos and scrape off the filling. Take one Hershey's Kiss and use a small amount of the red decorating icing to attach it to the top of the Oreo, creating the mouse's head. Use the black decorating icing to add two small dots for eyes and a nose. Take two slivered almonds and stick them into the filling of the Oreo for ears. Repeat this process until you have as many mice as desired.
Step 2: Make the tails
Take a mini pretzel stick and dip one end into the melted chocolate. Use this as the tail for each mouse, sticking it into the filling of the cookie.
Step 3: Bake and cool
Place the assembled mice on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Let them cool for 10 minutes before moving on to the next step.
Step 4: Melt the chocolate
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once fully melted and combined, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 5: Dip the mice
Using a fork, dip each mouse into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped mice back onto the baking sheet and let them cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy
Once the chocolate has hardened, take the mice out of the fridge and arrange them on a platter. Serve with the dipping sauce and watch as your guests are delighted by these cute and tasty treats.
