Place on a tray lined with waxed paper. Chill until firm. Meanwhile, unwrap chocolate candies. and melt dipping chocolate (DO NOT MELT CANDIES). Dip cherries, completely coating with melted chocolate. Place FLAT side of candy against end of cherry WITHOUT stem. Leave stem exposed to form "tail". Place 2 slivered almonds between candy & cherry to form "ears". Lay on side with pointed end of candy forming "nose". Using decorating gel, make 2 "dots" for eyes, and one on tip of nose. Return to tray covered with wax paper. Continue with other cherries & candies. Cover & chill until firm. Store in a cool place, 1-2 weeks. Makes 60 "MICE".
