Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Milk chocolate
- 100 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 250 g Crushed Arnott's Marie biscuits (or any plain sweet biscuit)
- 50 g Desiccated coconut
- 50 g Almond slivers (for ears)
- 2 tbsp Silver cachous or mini chocolate chips (for eyes)
- 6 pieces Red licorice strings (for tails)
Instructions
Prepare your workspace by lining a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the milk chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
Add the crushed Arnott's Marie biscuits to the chocolate mixture and mix well. The mixture should have a moldable consistency.
Using your hands, take a small portion of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and form it into a mouse-shaped body – tapered at one end for the nose and rounded at the other for the back.
Place each chocolate mouse onto the prepared baking tray.
Once all the mice shapes are formed, roll them lightly in desiccated coconut to coat.
Insert two almond slivers near the nose to form the ears. Press two silver cachous or mini chocolate chips into the faces to create eyes.
Cut the red licorice strings into 7-8 cm pieces and insert one tail into the back of each mouse.
Place the tray in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy these delightful Aussie-style chocolate mice!
