Normally mice in the kitchen – a bad thing. But these guys are so darn cute! They can stay a little while. At least until the kids discover them, that is. Then, I don’t think they’ll have a fighting chance. With a Red Velvet Oreo Cookie as the base, a Hershey’s kiss as the head, and a chocolate-covered Maraschino Cherry as the tail, this mouse contains all of the kid’s favorite sweet treats in one! Here’s the step-by-step for these Chocolate Covered Cherry Valentine Mice On A Red Velvet Oreo Cookie :
Here’s What You’ll Need For These Valentine Mice:
(makes a whole lot, but you can adjust the amount to whatever you need)
- A bottle of Maraschino cherries
- Wilton chocolate melts – Milk Chocolate color – melted according to package directions in a bowl for dipping.
- Red/Pink/White Candy Corns
- Heart Sprinkles
- A Bag of Hershey’s Kiss – * you could substitute the cherry Hershey’s Kiss – that would be yummy
- Red Velvet Oreo Cookies or your favorite Oreo
Extra Equipment Needed:
- glass microwave-proof bowl
- wax paper
- paper towel
On To The Mice:
- Dry the Maraschino cherries with paper towels
- Dip 2 candy corn tips into the melted Wilton Chocolate and place on the Hershey’s Kiss – set down to dry
- Dip a cherry into the melted chocolate and place on the Oreo base
- While chocolate on the cherry is still warm and melted, quickly add the Hershey Kiss head
- Place a toothpick into the melted chocolate and dab the chocolate onto the Hershey Kiss face in the place where the eyes would go.
- Add the sprinkles to the melted chocolate to make little eyes
- That’s It! Enjoy

Do you use big heart or little heart for the eyes?
The heart eyes are little heart sprinkles. You can typically find them around Valentine’s Day in the baking aisle, or you can use the Amazon link I added to the post to find them.
