Chocolate Mice

These adorable Chocolate Mice are perfect for Christmas. They are fun to make and your kids will love them. They can be served alone or they could be added to the top of a cupcake. They are the perfect addition to a Christmas Tea or Brunch. Your kids will really enjoy eating and helping make them.

It is best to work as a team when assembling. It really helps to have two people to add the ears and head to the body. They were fun to make and everyone loved them.  My Dad even got into the process and did a great job in creating these!
