About: I'm a restless vegan biologist who just love to cook, crochet and painting all day and all night! I love making gifts for my family and friends and I'm continuously looking for inspiration. DIY is one of my pa…

This cute little mice are the perfect surprise for kids' party or halloween party! The recipe needs only 2 basic ingredients and you can easily ''veganize'' it....!!!!

If you want to make the non-vegan recipe you need for about 20 mice:

  1. 300gr cocoa biscuits
  2. 100gr cream cheese (like Philadelphia)
  3. 1 tbsp. of jam of your choice if needed
  4. 1 or 2 tube of Smarties (it depends on the colour pairs)
  5. Sugared silver confetti for eyes and noses
  6. Some pieces of liquorice candies for tails

If you wish to make the vegan version you need just to replace all the above ingredients with suitable for vegans (no diary, no eggs)

  1. 300gr of suitable for vegans cocoa biscuits
  2. 100gr silken soft tofu (If I can advice, this is really good for this recipe http://eu.iherb.com/Mori-Nu-Silken-Tofu-Soft-12-oz...
  3. 1 tbsp. of jam of your choice if needed
  4. About 20 pairs of coloured sugared peanuts wich don't contain milk chocolate (like those that are used in wedding favours)
  5. Sugared silver confetti for eyes and noses

  6. Some pieces of liquorice candies for tails (make sure they don't contain gelatin bacause it isn't vegan)

Step 1: Smash 'em All..!!

  • Smash the cookies: use a food processor or a roller pin to make a fine cookie powder
  • Add the cream cheese or tofu and mix very well to make a soft and easily workable dough
  • If the dough makes crackes, add the jam to help the dough to stick together
  • Make some egg like little balls

Step 2: Make Eyes, Noses and Tails

  • Add 3 edible sugar confetti for the eyes and the nose
  • Stick a little piece of liquorice candy for tail
  • Help yourself with a knife to make holes for the ears

Your beautiful creation is done!! Not only kids but also adults will go crazy for this cute little creatures!

Success at your party guaranteed...!! ^_^
