These whimsical little cuties taste like truffles. Every Christmas, we make sure to have enough for friends and neighbors. Ingredients:
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs, divided |
1/3 cup sour cream |
36 red nonpareils |
1/4 cup sliced almonds |
18 pieces black shoestring licorice (2 inches each) |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Stir in 1 cup wafer crumbs and sour cream. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour or until firm enough to shape.
2. Place remaining wafer crumbs in a shallow bowl. For each mouse, roll about 1 tablespoon crumb mixture into a ball; taper one end to resemble a mouse. Roll in wafer crumbs to coat. Attach nonpareils for eyes, sliced almonds for ears and licorice pieces for tails. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
