P and I had some fun in the Kitchen yesterday.
We saw the cute little mouse cookies in one of our magazines and had to make them. We had to adjust the ingredients a little to items we could find.
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs (we used chocolate graham crackers because that was all we could find)
1/3 cup sour cream
red nonpareils (we just picked them out of the cupcake sprinkle container)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
black shoestring licorice (we used hot cinnamon twizzlers)
Melt chocolate chips, stir until smooth.
Stir in 1 cup crumbs and sour cream.
cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
For each mouse, roll about 1 tablespoon chocolate mixture into a ball, tapering one end to look like a mouse. Roll in remaining chocolate crumbs to coat. Position nonpareils for eyes, almond slices for ears, and licorice pieces for tails. We made about 25.
P wanted hers to have pink eyes and noses.
