1
Carefully twist Oreo cookies apart. Set aside the ones with the cream filling on them; save plain halves for another use. (You could make crumbs for pie crust).

In microwave, melt chocolate chip, paraffin and butter; stir until smooth.
3
Holding cherry by stem, dip in melted chocolate, then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss.
4
Place cherry and kiss onto the cream filling of the cookie. Let stem extend over the edge.
5
Make ears for your mouse by placing sliced almonds between the cherry and the kiss (before the chocolate sets).
6
Place in refrigerator until chocolate sets.
7
With green decorative gel, pipe holly leaves on white cream of cookie by the mouse.

TIPS:
12
I used Almond Bark instead of the chocolate chips and eliminated the need for shortening.
13
Maraschino cherries need to have stems and be well-drained.
14
Keep chocolate hot by putting in a bowl over a steaming pan of water.
15
I used a teapot, took the lid off and placed my bowl over it after melting chocolate in microwave.
16
You can use a clean eyebrow tweezer or something else to grasp the cherries by the stems to dunk in chocolate.
17
Make extras because everyone at your party will want one to take home to show around and to use as a pattern to make their own!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
