• Break off a walnut-sized piece of the mixture and roll into a rounded cone shape, then flatten one side so that the mouse can sit on a flat surface without toppling over. Pinch out little ears on top of the narrow end, then squeeze the same end into a nose. Press chocolate sprinkles into the face below the ears to make eyes. Cut a length of kitchen string about 4cm long, and push it into the round end of the mouse to make a tail.

Steps:

• Slice the cheese and put in the middle of a plate. Cut the hard boiled eggs in half and put around the cheese, with the narrow part of the egg facing in and egg yolk down.
