I made both brown and white mice using this recipe. I also subbed in a little uncooked oats into the the inner chocolate cracker bits, so they now have "fleas". The white mice I used mini marshmallows for ears and rolled in coconut so they look a bit mangy. Amazing recipe!! Thanks!

These are very cute! I doubled the recipe to make enough to take to a Halloween party. Also, as it was an adult party, I added a bit of Kahlua to the sour cream before mixing it with the chocolate, just for a bit of zing! I also rolled them in chocolate sprinkles which gave them the look of mangy fur, before rolling them in the crumbs, and used red sprinkles for the eyes for a demonic look! They were a huge hit, and quite tasty!

I made these exactly as written, except for the eyes, for which I used red balls (found in the Christmas sprinkles variety pack.) We took them to a Halloween party last night, and got rave reviews, both for appearance and flavor. Everyone took pictures! I've already had requests to make them for my son's birthday party, which is actually on Halloween. (This wasn't a party for kids, by the way, and my son will be 27!) Thanks for the hit recipe!
