Why the cup of milk?
I think you are referring to the milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips? No milk.
I like to make these cuties for my Christmas cookie boxes. So easy to make and so far no one has complained about the mice in the cookies.
Theses are so cute.
Going to make for my sisters Christmas party. Cute!
Hi I would love to try them
I think this is inventive, fun & charming! For adults you can add a cordial to the melted chocolate! Fir children you can add extract or syrup. A visit to Michael’s or Joanne’s- for edible facial expressions, wreaths etc might make it easier for the less crafty. Maybe even dust with snow * frozen marshmallows grated! I think this is grand!
Mice are cute
