4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/3 c. chocolate cookie crumbs
1/3 cup powdered sugar
24 silver decorating candies
¼ cup sliced almonds
12 (2 in.) red licorice pieces
Melt the chocolate, and mix well with sour cream in a large bowl. Add 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs, and stir well. Cover and refrigerate until firm. Roll by level tablespoons into balls. Mold to a slight point at one end (the nose). Roll dough in powdered sugar (for white mice), and in chocolate cookie crumbs (for dark mice). On each mouse, place decorating candies in appropriate spot for eyes, almond slices for ears, and a licorice string for the tail. Refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight, until firm.
