How to Make Three Not So Blind Mice

  1. Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of paraffin wax in a double boiler over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  2. Dip whole maraschino cherries (approximately 24), holding the stem, into the melted chocolate. Place them on wax paper to set.
  3. Attach one mini chocolate kiss to the opposite end of the cherry stem; this will be the mouse's head.
  4. Ensure the cherry stem (tail) lies flat against the wax paper.
  5. Position two slivered almonds between the mini chocolate kiss (head) and the cherry (body) to create the mouse's ears.
  6. Once the chocolate has set, use a toothpick or piping bag to add two tiny chocolate dots for eyes above the mini chocolate kiss.
  7. Add a smaller mini chocolate kiss on top of the larger one to represent the mouse's nose.
