A small chocolate flavoured mouse with a piped tail, in brown rather than white. Cheap, simple and a penny sweet standard.

Where it comes from
Moulded chocolate mice have been sold in British sweet shops since the mid twentieth century, alongside the white and pink versions. The mouse became one of the standard moulds because it is simple enough to demould cleanly and recognisable enough to sell itself.
What it's made of
A compound coating of sugar, palm oil, whey powder, wheat flour and fat reduced cocoa powder deposited into a mouse mould.
