Ingredients:
- 1 jar maraschino cherries with stems, drained and dried
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1/2 tsp butter
- 36 hershey kisses
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tube red (clear) gel icing
Line a cookie sheet with waxed or parchment paper.
Rinse the maraschino cherries, drain thoroughly, and let dry on paper towels, turning often. The cherries must be completely dry or the chocolate will seize and get crumbly.
Gently melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler until smooth, stirring often to prevent burning. Once melted, turn off heat, but leave in the double-boiler on the burner.
Dip dry cherries in melted chocolate to completely cover up to the stem. Place on lined cookie sheet. Immediately press on hershey kiss, flat side to the front of the dipped cherry, to form a head.
While chocolate is still warm, wedge two sliced almonds between hershey kiss and cherry to form ears. Let cool.
Use a toothpick to dab beady red eyes on either side of the hershey kiss with the red gel icing.
Refrigerate to firmly set chocolate.
Yield: about 36 chocolate-covered mice

Hey! A little about my background and how I became a real estate Broker. Originally born in Marietta, GA (suburb of Atlanta, GA) I had moved around for the first 5 years up and down the east coast. My parents settled in Liverpool, NY (Suburb of Syracuse, NY). I met my husband in NY and soon found myself in a new city (Fayetteville, NC) with out friends and family....typical beginning of a young army wife life.
