I received so many Ooooo's, Ahhhhh's & Eeeeek's over these mice. I presented them in a foil lined shoebox with Rice Krispies as suggested and labeled the box "Caution - Lab Mice". My order of assembly was as follows: After combining the chocolate, sour cream & crumbs, I divided the mixture into 24 equal portions & placed them on wax paper (I doubled the recipe). While still soft, I shaped the mice and placed them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Then I refrigerated them till firm. Forming them while still soft was a breeze. While they firmed up, I made my tails from mini Tootsie Rolls - quarter the Rolls, microwave 10 seconds and roll into tails...kinda pointed at the end. I also went thru the sliced almonds to match up shapes so my ears would match. Once the mice were firm, assembly went quite quickly per the recipe. Once all were assembled I randomly placed the mice in the shoebox, curling their tails a bit to look real. Then I took one Tootsie Rolls quarter, rolled it very thin, cut it into 1/4" pieces, dusted the pieces with cookie crumbs, and dropped them around the mice for "droppings" - boy did they look real. My one BIG MISTAKE... trying to transport the mice staged in their box. During the trip the Rice Krispies shifted around quite a lot so the "droppings" disappeared into the bottom of the box and I mice where stuck together at one end of the box. Bad news. Had to restage at the party, but everyone loved them!
