Mice

Ingredients

• •2 pieces crystallized angelica, each about 1/8 inch by 2 inches, or anything else with appropriate properties of sweetness and shape may be substituted, such as a piece of chocolate cut to size
• •2 almonds, blanched
• •2 pear halves, preferably canned

Directions

1. 1Carefully halve the almonds along the natural split in the nut. This is easiest after they are still wet from blanching. Place the pear halves, round side up, in the serving dish.
2. 2At the narrow end of each half, add two almond halves to make mouse ears.
3. 3At the other end, insert the angelica to make a tail.
