Instructions

  1. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it.

  2. Rinse maraschino cherries and thoroughly dry them.

  3. In a double boiler, melt chocolate, butter, and paraffin until smooth; remove from heat but keep warm.

  4. Dip each dry cherry into the melted chocolate, then place on the lined sheet and immediately attach a chocolate chip as a head.

  5. While the chocolate is still warm, insert two sliced almonds between the chip and cherry to create ears. Let cool.

  6. Use a toothpick to apply red gel icing for eyes on the chocolate chip.

  7. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firmly set.

  8. Serve.
