I love the christmas mice. Every year (well since I've celebrated) we all give my step-mother a Christmas mouse. Traditionally it has been a stuffed singing mouse but they are tough to find now. We have an entire shelf above the fireplace loaed with x-mas mice.
These will be perfect for next Christmas. Can you share how you make them? tho .... I will likely eat them all since I doubt she would be able to bring herself to eat one of the mice.

Here is the album link. It is fixed (finally). Sorry; I broke the links when I started organizing the pictures. I'm new to photobucket.

The Christmas mice idea came from a client for whom I work. I discovered (chocolate) mice in her dining room at xmas that made me momentarily jump back!
I don't know exactly how she made hers, but I did copy it, using Hershey's Kisses for the heads and marachino cherries for the bodies. I used almond paste to "glue" them together, although the melted Ghiradelli chocolate might have worked without the almond paste. The paste made it easier to secure the cherries to the Kisses before coating the cherry ends in the melted chocolate. The ears are slivered almonds; eyes and noses are red and black dots of gel frosting (in the itsy-bitsy tubes).
Warning: Very, very time-consuming to make, although quite simple ingredients. I used semi-sweet Kisses and sem-sweet chocolates. Very yummy with the almond paste (or with marzipan).
