Chocolate Mice

Print Options
Description
These were always a hit at the Halloween parties, and they taste good. A little work, but so worth the effort.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces 1 Oz. Squares Sweetened Chocolate
- ⅓ cups Sour Cream
- 1 cup Chocolate Cookie Crumbs (I Use Oreos, Filling And All, Throw In Food Processor And Grind), Plus Extra For Rolling The Mice In
- ⅓ cups Powdered Sugar
- 25 whole Silver Dragees For Eyes (I Use Black Sugar Balls Purchased In A Cake Aisle, Look Like Little Beady Mice Eyes)
- ¼ cups Sliced Almonds
- 12 pieces Long Red Licorice For Tails, I Use Chocolate Licorice When I Can Find It, More Realistic
Preparation
1. Melt the chocolate (in the microwave, 30 second bursts stirring in between to make sure it doesn’t scorch). When chocolate is melted, combine with sour cream. Stir in 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
2. Roll by level tablespoonfuls into balls. Mold to a slight point at one end to shape the nose.
3. Roll dough in confectioner’s sugar (for white mice) or in chocolate cookies crumbs (for dark mice). On each mouse, place dragees or black sugar balls on each side of nose; press in to make eyes. Place 2 almond slices on each side of head and push into head for ears. Add a licorice string for the tails.
4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

I made these for a halloween party last night and they were a hit! Though some people weren’t sure about eating something that looked so realistic!
I did have a hard time making the amount that the recipe said it would. I had to whip up another half of the recipe to get my white mice. I may have made them a bit bigger then it called for. I couldnt find anything for the eyes, so used mini choco chips.
Thanks for the neat recipe!
