To say I love Halloween is an understatement. Every year I think of something interesting to wear and serve! Even if I'm not throwing a crazy Halloween party like I did last year, there's always a potluck or event to show off your creations. This year I settled on the idea of making some creepy yet delicious mice. They are covered in white
chocolate and have a gummy center for a maximum gross factor.
Ingredients
4 oz white chocolate
4 oz cream cheese softened and at room temp
2 tbsps cookie crumbs
Wooden skewers
4 oz white candy melts or white chocolate for dipping
Gummy candies
Red candies for eyes
Oatmeal for ears
Red laces for tails
2 tsps oil
Process
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler and once melted add the cream cheese
Mix well and add the cookie crumbs
Transfer to a smaller bowl, cover and refrigerate for 2 hrs or till firm
Using two spoons divide it into 6 - 7 portions and drop onto a plate sprinkled with cookie crumbs
Roll into a ball and insert a gummy candy in the center and skewer it from one end
Pinch the other end to give it a mouse shape
Heat up the chocolate in the microwave and add a bit of oil to make it more fluid
Using a spoon, drop the chocolate over the mouse and cover completely allowing all the excess coating to drip off
Once the chocolate is still tacky, insert the eyes and the ears and when the mouse is dry enough to touch, remove the skewer and insert the red tail.
