Scale
For the Mice:
- 12 whole almonds (for the mouse bodies)
- 1 cup milk or dark chocolate chips (for coating)
- 12 chocolate sprinkles (for the tails)
- 12 small candy eyes (or mini chocolate chips for eyes)
- 12 small pieces of licorice or gummy candy (for the ears)
Ingredient Highlights
- Chocolate Chips: Choose high-quality chocolate chips for a rich and delicious coating.
- Almonds: The almonds provide a crunchy texture that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
- Candy Eyes: These add a fun touch, bringing the mice to life.
Instructions
repare the Mice
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Coat the Almonds: Dip each almond into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift the almond out and tap off any excess chocolate.
- Place on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the coated almonds on it. Allow the chocolate to set for about 10 minutes.
Assemble the Mice
- Add Eyes: Once the chocolate has set slightly but is still soft, place a candy eye (or mini chocolate chip) on each almond.
- Create Ears: Cut small pieces of licorice or gummy candy to form the ears and press them into the chocolate next to the eyes.
- Attach Tails: Stick a chocolate sprinkle into the chocolate at the back of each almond to create the tail.
