Ingredients

  • 10 fresh strawberries
  • 10 mini chocolate chips
  • black decorating gel
  • 20 slivered almonds
  • 5 pieces red licorice strings
  • swiss cheese (1 brick)

Method

  • For each mouse, slice a small section from one side of the strawberry so it sits flat.
  • Press a mini chocolate chip into the tip for a nose. You may need to use icing to secure it in place.
  • Add two dots of icing above the nose for eyes.
  • Stick two almond slivers onto the top of the strawberry for the ears.
  • For the tail, use a toothpick to carve a small hole into the back of the strawberry and push the end of the licorice lace into the hole.
  • Serve with small triangles of cheese.
