Cherry Chocolate Mice

Cherry Chocolate Mice

Ingredients:
1 bag chocolate chips
1-2 tsp. shortening
Maraschino cherries, WITH stems (these are a little hard to find, but they are a must!)
Hershey's chocolate kisses
Unsalted peanuts, halved
Red-hots or tiny cinnamon candy

Directions:
In the microwave or over the stove, melt the chocolate chips and shortening together. Stir until smooth. Holding a cherry by its stem, dip it into the chocolate and then press a chocolate kiss onto the cherry. Wedge peanut halves between the cherry and chocolate kiss to make the ears. Place this on wax paper until chocolate dries. Add a couple dots of white frosting for eyes, then put a little melted chocolate on a red-hot and place on the end of the kiss to make the nose.
