We have caught eight of them in our larder the past couple of weeks. We use peanut butter and a humane mouse trap which means they have to wait a few hours until we get up, drive them a mile away to open countryside, and release them.

Seems a shame to kill them when they could live to fight another day, well away from our house. Or at least provide a tasty meal for an owl or other predator.

We did use chocolate as bait for a while but peanut butter seems much more effective.

I can't imagine a house mouse would survive very long in open countryside. But as you say (or do you?), being torn to pieces by a bird of prey is a much more humane way of dealing with them than is instant death in a mousetrap.

I didn't know nice liked peanut butter. There was a couple if mice in our kitchen about half a year ago and I tried chocolate, cheese and ham in a couple of mouse traps but it took about a month to get them. I nearly got one with a lunch box when I saw it on the work top but the bugger got away.

Trouble is, they struggle to get the lid off

You'll never get rid of them, Timmy. Best you go & relocate to a cheap B&B down Littlehampton way; sell your house for a pittance in the next auction (as it's a major health hazard now); & then relocate to Birkenhead. I've no doubt you'll be a real hit with locals.
