My dad saw these made and decided to make some himself. Now they've become like, an every year tradition. People love them, and they're pretty nifty. Now I will show you, with pictures, how to make:
Chocolate Cherry Mice
You'll need:
-Chocolate to melt
-Hershey Kisses
-Cherries (with stems)
-Almond slivers
-Icing of some sort and a thing to dot it with
First you need to get all the ingredients and have them ready. The chocolate can be melting while you get things ready. Our cherries came in a little bottle and had goo on them, so we had to dry them off. You may have to as well. Now, unwrap some Kisses and get a cherry ready.
(Here's our setup)
Dip the cherry into the chocolate, making sure it is completely covered. Now, take a Kiss and place it on the cherry, opposite the stem, to give your mouse a head. Then you can place the mouse on something and grab a couple of almond slivers.
(Dipping and applying the Kiss)
Stick 2 almond slivers in between the cherry and Kiss. Have them stick out some like ears. You may want to dip them in chocolate first if they don't stay put. Now, you can repeat this until you have several mice.
Next, you put on the eyes. For this, use some icing of any color. Simply place 2 dots for the eyes. When we do mice, we save this part for last and do all the eyes at once, and we usually use several different colors.
(Applying the eyes. You can see the melting chocolate in the first picture)
The finished product should look like this:

Thanks to my dad for allowing me to take pictures and for making the mice.
Now, go get your parents and show them this cool little snack and maybe have them make some for you.
