½ cup sliced almonds (ears)

Instructions

Mix: Stir in sour cream until glossy. Fold in cookie crumbs—texture should hold when squeezed. Chill 1 hr.

Shape: Roll tablespoon portions into ovals. Dust hands with cocoa to prevent sticking.

Decorate: Press almond slices for ears, poke licorice tails in back, add chip/icing eyes.
-
Chill again: 15 mins before serving so details set.
