Christmas Eve Mice

Carefully twist sandwich cookies apart. Set aside the ones with the cream filling on them; save plain halves for another use.

Holding cherry by stem, dip in melted chocolate, then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss.

Place cherry and kiss onto the cream filling of the cookie. Let stem extend over the edge. Make ears for your mouse by placing sliced almonds between the cherry and the kiss (before the chocolate sets). Place in refrigerator until chocolate sets.

With green decorative gel, pipe holly leaves on white cream of cookie by the mouse. Pipe holly berries between the leaves with the red gel. Pipe eyes on each chocolate kiss.

Store in airtight container at room temperature.
