Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups of Cocoa cereal
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1 bag of mini marshmallows
- Bag of Tootsie Rolls
- Handful of mini chocolate chips
- Chocolate Icing
- Marshmallow Cream
- A handful of whole or pre-sliced almonds
- Pan spray
- Cake pan or container (9″X13″)
Instructions
- Spray the bottom, and sides of your Pan – set aside
- Melt Butter in a deep Pot
- Add in Marshmallows and stir around until they have melted completely
- Add in Cocoa Cereal, and mix until it is completely coated
- Quickly dump your Cereal mix into your pan, and spread out evenly
- Allow to cool for about 15 minutes then cut into squares about the size of how big you want your mice to be
- Spray hands lightly with cooking spray
- Remove a square, and roughly mold into the shape of a mouse using your hands
- When finished place on a tray, and repeat with the rest of the treat squares
- Remove Tootsie Rolls from wrapper, and roll in hands to make mice tails, and short whiskers
- Lift up the treats, and place the tails by pressing the candy into the treat
- Use small dollops of Marshmallow Cream for eyes, and add a mini chocolate chip to each
- Add a small amount of chocolate icing to the nose area, place on your whiskers, and add more icing on top to finish the nose.
- Slice your almonds, and stick just above the eyes to make the ears
- Place your mice on a decorative tray, and adjust the tail away from the mouse body for a nice effect
- Place in the refrigerator until serving
Notes
Idea: Instead of using tootsie rolls for the whiskers, cut black licorice whips – much easier!
