Hershey’s Christmas Mice Candy not only make everyone smile as soon as they lay eyes on them- they are delicious and so fun to put together!

Hersheys Christmas Mice Candies are just in time for the upcoming holidays! These will be so cute on your holiday table this year!

Kids completely love them. I did growing up because my mom use to make these at Christmas time! I used to love helping!

I have been making them every year since- all my family loves them and I give them out as gifts too! 

Mice candy with red noses and cherry stem tails

Amidst the cookies and cakes and other desserts these little cuties make a perfect addition and light up the cookie trays! 

Just look at their adorable little faces!! 

I used Red hots candies for their red noses!

I used peanut halves for the ears, but almond halves would work as well– I just think the peanut ones look more like ears- but they would both work!

These are sure to be a hit with anyone who sees them and tries them!
