- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse 12 maraschino cherries, drain thoroughly, and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- Gently melt 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate (chips, bar, or baking squares), 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 tablespoon of paraffin wax in a double boiler over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Remove from heat but keep in the double boiler.
- Dip each dried cherry into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated up to the stem.
- Place the chocolate-covered cherries onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Immediately press one chocolate chip (flat side down) onto the front of each cherry to create the mouse's head.
- While the chocolate is still warm, insert two thin almond slices between the chocolate chip and cherry to form the ears.
- Let the chocolate cool completely.
- Use a toothpick to carefully add two small dots of red gel icing for eyes on either side of the chocolate chip.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
- If using fresh cherries, adjust quantity accordingly and ensure they are perfectly dry before dipping in chocolate.
