MICE & CHEESE APPETIZER RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Slice the cheese and put in the middle of a plate. Cut the hard boiled eggs in half and put around the cheese, with the narrow part of the egg facing in and egg yolk down. The egg white becomes the shape of the mice. Take the radish slices and put two in each egg white for the ears. So, smaller radishes are best. Place two peppercorns under the radish slices for eyes. Take the chives and cut into about 2-inch pieces and tuck into the other side of the egg white for a tail. Enjoy your mice and cheese!

MICE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Chop the confectioners' coating into chunks, and place into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the coating in the microwave oven on High for 30 seconds; then heat again 4 or 5 more times for 10 to 15 seconds each time until the coating is warm (not hot) and melted. Stir well until the chocolate coating is smooth and free of lumps. The coating should be about 95 degrees F (35 degrees C).
• Dry the cherries well with paper towels. Holding each cherry by the stem, dip it into the chocolate coating to just reach the bottom of the stem. Carefully lay the cherry on its side, so the stem sticks out the side. This will be the tail. Before the coating sets up, stick the flat side of an unwrapped chocolate kiss opposite the tail, to make a pointy-nosed face. Pick out two nicely shaped slivers of almond, and insert them between the chocolate kiss and the dipped cherry to make little ears. Use a toothpick to make two small dots of melted coating on the face for eyes; stick two little red candies to the coating dots. Repeat with the rest of the cherries. Allow the coating to set until firm and cool, about 30 minutes.
