This Chocolate Covered Cherry Mouse is a favorite around Valentines Day but it’s also fun for Christmas or just any time you wish to surprise someone with a sweet treat that is totally adorable.
It doesn’t take that long to make several of these Chocolate Covered Cherry Mice.
Always on Valentine’s Day, we send the grandkids a little something to let them know how special they are to us. And since 3 of them are growing boys, it can’t be too mushy but with 2 granddaughters it needs to be cute and sweet.
Cherries and Chocolate are perfect for Valentines Day! But Mice??
These Easy Chocolate covered cherry mice are sweet and cute for the girls but just enough out there to delight the boys.
So why not??
Valentines Day should also be fun and these sweet little mice are totally fun,
not plain old chocolate covered cherries here.
But these are not just for children, any sweetheart would love to have a box of these lovely Chocolate Covered Cherry Mice. Show your love and make your sweetie some a little Chocolate Cherry Mouse today.
Chocolate Cherry Mice
Ingredients
- 1 jar of Maraschino cherries with stems
- Bag of Chocolate Kisses
- Slivered almonds
- Candy melts or Chocolate Almond bark
Instructions
1. Remove cherries from the juice and using paper towels let drain and pat until dry
2. Using a double boiler melt chocolate carefully according to package directions or use a chocolate fountain or this easy chocolate melting pot.
3. Dip each cherry into chocolate until completely coated.
4. Place on parchment paper and allow to cool until hard.
5. Holding each chocolate kiss by the tip, dip the kiss in the melted chocolate (just enough chocolate to cover the bottom of the kiss) and attach to the chocolate covered cherry opposite of the stem (tail). The melted chocolate acts as glue
5. Take two slivered almonds and dip the widest part of the almonds in the chocolate and attach between the kiss and the chocolate covered cherry to make the ears
Here’s an easy way to dip Chocolate or have the kids make their very own Chocolate Covered Cherry Mice using this inexpensive chocolate fountain.
Serve with Champagne!!!

Too adorable! The only kind of mouse I would want in my house! =)

I made these mices at Christmas time putting them on a base of an Oreo cookie halved with the cookie cream as snow. They do get the "Wow" factor with their cuteness.
Aw, yours are so cute! My youngest and I made "moles" for mole day (for his high school chemistry class)just like these 🙂
So adorable AND delicious!! 🙂 Love it!!
These are soooooooooooooooo cute and adorable!!

Adorable and yummy! 🙂
I love these mice – not only are they cute but they taste really good. I have been making these mice for about 10 years and I put them on my Christmas Cookies trays – they are always a big hit. I use almond slivers for the ears and I also use a dab of white frosting to make eyes on the mice. Thank you for sharing.
So cute and easy. I think even my grandsons could do this one! Thank you.
Oh my! So very sweet…and I LOVE the idea of serving them with champagne! I wonder what cuteness could be made out of using a strawberry?
Evelyn, where do you get these great recipes and ideas? Very cool. Take care, Linda
This is the cutest thing ever!
Edible mice is a hard one for me… I lived in NYC for quite a while… They are cute though. Thanks for sharing them on foodie friday.
