Chocolate Church Mice

December 1, 2007 | By carol In Recipes, Christmas Dish Recipes |

Ingredients:

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
48 dried apricots
wooden skewers
48 M&M’s Minis
black shoestring licorice
24 dry-roasted peanut halves

Procedure:

Place the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for 1 minute more. Stir until smooth. For each mouse, press together 2 dried apricots, making a small point for the mouse’s nose, and thread them onto a skewer. Dip them into the melted chocolate and place on a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Use a second skewer to push the mouse off the first skewer; use your fingertip to cover the hole left behind with chocolate. Add M&M’s Minis eyes, a shoestring licorice tail, and peanut ears (we broke each peanut half in half again). Refrigerate until hardened. Makes 24.
