How to Make Easy No Bake Mice Cookies

**Prepare the Oreos:** Gently separate 24 Oreo cookies, keeping only the chocolate cookie wafers.
**Prepare the Cherries:** Drain a 10 oz can of maraschino cherries and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
**Prepare the Chocolate Kisses:** Unwrap 24 milk chocolate Hershey’s Kisses and set aside.
**Melt the Chocolate:** Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
**Assemble the Mice:** Dip the stem end of each cherry into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
**Attach the Cherry:** Place the chocolate-covered cherry onto an Oreo wafer, positioning the stem sideways to create the mouse's tail.
**Add the Kiss:** Place a chocolate kiss on the opposite side of the cherry, pointed side up, to form the mouse's head.
**Add the Ears:** Attach two almond halves on top of the cherry to create the mouse's ears.
**Add the Eyes:** Use a small amount of red gel food coloring to create two small dots on the cherry for eyes.
**Optional Decoration:** Decorate the Oreo cookie wafer with additional gel food coloring, creating cute designs if desired.
**Chill (Optional):** For easier handling, chill the cookies in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
**Serve:** These delightful mice cookies are best enjoyed by picking them up by the tail and taking a big bite! They taste like delicious chocolate-covered cherries!
