These Chocolate-Covered Cherry “Mice” are the perfect combo of adorable and eerie for your next Halloween spread. Made with maraschino cherries, Hershey’s Kisses, and almond slices, they look like tiny chocolate mice—with a delicious surprise inside.
I first made these when prepping for a classroom Halloween party. I needed a no-bake treat that was both fun and safe for kids to help with. The melted chocolate coats each cherry “body,” the Kiss becomes the face, and slivered almonds form the perfect little ears. Just a touch of red icing or edible eyes brings them to life!
Whether you’re decorating a dessert table or making edible crafts with kids, these chocolate mice are a spooky-cute crowd favorite. They store well in the fridge and make great conversation starters.
If you’re looking for a playful yet elegant way to surprise your Halloween guests, these cherry mice will totally steal the show—sweet, clever, and just the right amount of creepy.
