CHRISTMAS MICE COOKIES 
Easy and cute!

1 pkg. Oreo cookies
1 pkg. Hershey's Kisses
1 jar maraschino cherries (with stems)
1 pkg. almond halves
1 (8 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet cooking chocolate (Baker's)
1 tube green decorating gel
1 tube red decorating gel

Split all Oreo's with sharp knife leaving icing on each half (for snow) and spread them out on a cookie sheet. Remove wrappers from Kisses and set aside. Drain cherries from juice. Melt chocolate in microwave safe bowl.

Holding by the stem, dip a cherry into the chocolate then lay it sideways on the Oreo half with a Hershey's Kiss laying sideways (touching the bottom of the kiss to the side of the cherry). This will resemble a mouse head (the Kiss) and body with tail (the cherry).

Add two almond slices between the two for ears. Add eyes and nose tip with red gel on Hershey's kiss. Add a red dot and green leaves for holly on the icing next to the mouse!!

Very cute!! And very yummy!

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
