Strawberry Mouse

I made this snack for 2nd grade party. Believe me, when I tell you that kids picked this snack over cupcakes. I felt like the best mom in the world, who is not that good at baking but has a lot of imagination and knows how to use internet to find fun recipes. Here is how you make it.

1. Take large strawberries and cut them in half. Put it on the plate the flat side down.

2. Take mini chocolate chip for little eyes and nose and glue it to the strawberry using a little bit of icing.

3. For ears you can use slivered almonds.

4. Red licorice lace works perfect for the tail.
