Ingredients

1 cup of white chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) of maraschino cherries with stems, drained
1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup of sliced almonds

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment, until the chips are completely melted and smooth.

2. Dip each cherry in the melted chocolate, making sure to cover the entire cherry. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Place two mini chocolate chips on the top of each cherry for eyes, and two almond slices on each side for ears. Allow the chocolate to set.

4. Once the chocolate has set, transfer the mice to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Equipment

Medium-sized microwave-safe bowl
Parchment-lined baking sheet
Airtight container

Notes

If the chocolate starts to get too soft while you are dipping the cherries, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
