After your homemade candies, why not bring out your nuts, raisins, colorful M& M's, and licorice tails and create sweet little mice. Old and young will enjoy these super sweet little mice as they are as much fun to make as they are to eat. I bet something perfect for the holidays! Ingredients:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
48 dried apricots
Wooden skewers
48 M&M's Minis (or raisins)
Black shoestring licorice
24 dry-roasted peanut halves
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
48 dried apricots
Wooden skewers
48 M&M's Minis (or raisins)
Black shoestring licorice
24 dry-roasted peanut halves
Directions:
Put the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for another minute, them continue stirring until smooth. To make the mice, press together 2 dried apricots. Make a small point to make the mouse' nose, and thread them onto a skewer. Dip them into the melted chocolate and place on a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet.
Use a second skewer to push the mouse off the first skewer; use your fingertip to cover the hole left behind with chocolate. Add M&M's Minis eyes, a shoestring licorice tail, and peanut ears Refrigerate until hardened. Makes 24 chocolate mice!
