"Chocolate mice from Simple & Delicious December 2008. My mom makes peanut butter mice cookies; these would go very well I think. They are just chocolate--not chocolate-cherry. Prep time includes microwaving time, but not chilling time."

directions

  • Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until almost completely melted, stopping to stir occasionally. Stir until smooth.
  • Stir in 1 cup wafer crumbs and the sour cream.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until cooled enough to handle easily.
  • To make each mouse, roll about 1 tablespoon chocolate mixture into a ball, tapered at one end to make a teardrop shape.
  • Gently roll in remaining wafer crumbs to coat.
  • Decorate with nonpareils for eyes, almond slices for ears, and licorice for the tail.
