CHRISTMAS EVE MICE
These are the cutest things ever! I make them every year for parties and co-workers! They make cute favors and place settings. The only thing I do different is, I make the eyes green, the nose red, and make a red bow on top next to one ear. I use the decorator's writing gel for this, but be careful. That stuff never really dries...

Steps:
- 1. Carefully twist cookies apart; set aside the halves with cream filling. Save plain halves for another use. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Holding each cherry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate, then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss. Place on the cream filling of cookie, with cherry stem extending beyond cookie edge. *Place off center so you have room for the holly leaves and berries. For ears, place slivered almonds between the cherry and kiss. Refrigerate until set. With green gel, pipe holly leaves on the cream. With a toothpick, drag out just a teensy bit here and there to make the pointed-edge of the leaves. With red gel, pipe holly berries between leaves and pipe green eyes on each chocolate kiss. (They look cutest if the eyes are fairly close together and not too small.) Make a dot on the nose with the red. And make a "bow" up by one ear by piping one small dot and 2 large dots on each side with red. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:
- To make the pudding, quickly blitz together the chopped pudding and custard in a food processor. Whip the cream and sugar to soft peaks and stir into the flavoured custard. Pour the mix into a 1.2 litre/2 pint pudding basin, then cover and freeze overnight or for several hours. (The pudding can be frozen for up to 1 month.)
- For the sauce, cut away the pith and peel from the tangerines or satsumas with a sharp knife, then cut either side of the membranes to release the segments. Bring the orange juice and caster sugar up to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Then boil hard for 20-25 mins, until reduced by about half to a thick syrupy consistency (like golden syrup). Watch it carefully so it doesn't boil over, lowering the heat if necessary. Leave to cool, finishing with a splash or two of your chosen liqueur, if using. Can be kept chilled for 3-4 days.
- To serve the dessert, transfer it to the fridge 30 mins before serving, then dip the basin into hot water and turn the pudding out onto a chilled plate. Arrange some of the fruit segments around the base of the pudding, and some on top. Drizzle with some of the syrup and serve the rest separately. Finish the decoration with holly leaves and a dusting of icing sugar.

PEANUT BUTTER CHRISTMAS MICE
Steps:
- In a large bowl combine butter and peanut butter; beat until creamy. Add brown and white sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla extract and baking soda until well blended. With mixer on low, mix in flour just until blended. Cover and chill for 1 hour, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Shape 1 level tablespoon of dough into 1 inch balls. Taper each ball at one end into a teardrop shape. Press flat on one side. Place flat sides down, 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press the sides of the dough in to raise the 'backs' of the mice, as dough will spread slightly during baking.
- Gently push 2 peanut halves in each 'mouse' for ears, and 2 pieces of green candy for eyes. With a toothpick make a hole 1/2 inch deep in the tail ends.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until firm.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and insert licorice pieces as tails.

CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS MICE COOKIES
These use Chocolate-Covered Cherry Mice(recipe previously posted). These are easy to make and a great project to do with children. No baking required, just use Hershey's chocolate kisses, double stuffed Oreos, maraschino cherries and chocolate chips to "build" your Christmas mice!

Steps:
- Carefully twist Oreo cookies apart. Set aside the ones with the cream filling on them; save plain halves for another use. (You could make crumbs for pie crust).
- In microwave, melt chocolate chip, paraffin and butter; stir until smooth.
- Holding cherry by stem, dip in melted chocolate, then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss.
- Place cherry and kiss onto the cream filling of the cookie. Let stem extend over the edge.
- Make ears for your mouse by placing sliced almonds between the cherry and the kiss (before the chocolate sets).
- Place in refrigerator until chocolate sets.
- With green decorative gel, pipe holly leaves on white cream of cookie by the mouse.
- Pipe holly berries between the leaves with the red gel.
- Pipe eyes on each chocolate kiss.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature.
- TIPS:.
- I used Almond Bark instead of the chocolate chips and eliminated the need for shortening.
- Maraschino cherries need to have stems and be well-drained.
- Keep chocolate hot by putting in a bowl over a steaming pan of water.
- I used a teapot, took the lid off and placed my bowl over it after melting chocolate in microwave.
- You can use a clean eyebrow tweezer or something else to grasp the cherries by the stems to dunk in chocolate.
- Make extras because everyone at your party will want one to take home to show around and to use as a pattern to make their own!
