Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Chocolate wafer cookies
- 24 pieces Almond slices
- 1 tube Red gel icing
- 12 pieces Licorice strings (cut into pieces)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Add the sour cream to the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
Gradually stir in the powdered sugar until a thick dough forms.
Cover the mixture and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
Using a small spoon, scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture and form into mouse shapes, with a rounded body tapering into a slight point for the nose.
Crush the chocolate wafer cookies into fine crumbs by placing them in a zip-top bag and gently rolling a rolling pin over them.
Roll each 'mouse' in the crushed chocolate wafer crumbs to coat completely.
Press two almond slices into the head of each mouse to create ears.
Use the red gel icing to dot on eyes near the almond ears.
Press a piece of licorice string into the back of the mouse for the tail.
Place the mice on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Serve the chocolate mice on a spooky platter for a fun Halloween treat!
