For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a bit more chocolate cookie crumbs. Store the finished mice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Get creative with decorations! Use different colored candies for the eyes or pretzel sticks for whiskers.
