ingredients

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

directions

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.
