Whimsical mice add a fun touch to a holiday party. Adults and children alike will smile at these cute little guys.

Ingredients:

36 red nonpareils
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions:
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Stir in 1 cup crumbs and sour cream. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.

For each mouse, roll about 1 tablespoon chocolate mixture into a ball, tapering one end to resemble a mouse. Roll in remaining chocolate crumbs to coat. Position nonpareils for eyes, almond slices for ears and licorice pieces for tails.
