Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon shortening
  • 20 Maraschino cherries with stems
  • 20 Hershey Chocolate Kisses
  • 40 sliced almonds
  • 1 tube white icing
  • 1 tube black icing

Instructions

  • In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips and shortening together on low heat for 1 minute. Stir until smooth.
  • Holding a cherry by its stem, dip it into the chocolate and then press a chocolate kiss onto the cherry (this will be the head). Wedge almond slices between the cherry and chocolate kiss to make the ears.
  • Place on wax paper until chocolate sets. Add a couple dots of white icing for eyes, then put a little black icing on top for the pupil.
