- Start by washing and drying the cherries, then set them aside for later. Then, open the kisses, and put them aside for now. In the microwave, melt the chocolate while stirring until smooth. Next, dip the cherry in the chocolate, completely coating it. Make sure to shake off extra chocolate. After this, place the cherry on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Next, place the kiss onto a chocolate-covered cherry, with the point facing away from the cherry stem tail. After this, place the peanut half ears behind the rear of the kiss and hold momentarily. Then, place two white pearl sprinkles onto the mouse for its eyes using tweezers, adding a tiny dot onto the bottom side to help it stick. Make sure to add a chocolate dot to each eye to create its pupils!Next, apply the red pearl nose to the tip of the kiss candy, placing a small chocolate dot onto the bottom to help it stick, and you’re done! If you want, you can put your cherries in the fridge for 15 minutes to let them set before serving. Step Two: Place the Hershey Kiss “Head”Step Three: Complete the Final Decorations
