A modern non-cooked variation for children to make at home involves instead using icing sugar, egg whites and golden syrup. Various flavours and matching food dyes can be added. Small portions of the mass are formed into a mouse-like shape and decorated with a "tail". The mice may be decorated with additional fondant, icing sugar, chocolate, etc. Finally, they are left to dry for one or two days until they develop their typical, somewhat fudge-like dry and crumbly texture.
