I have incredible success with that as a bait. If you use mini t-rex traps the bait will work for years as the other mice can't get to it when it snaps shut.

We previously used peanut butter with some success, but concerns have been raised about potential staff and visitor allergies due to the peanut butter potentially being spread around and urinated out by the mice who escape the traps. I read somewhere that gummy bears might work as bait, but that was in the context of rat traps and I have not yet tried them for mice. (Thankfully, we don't have a rat problem!). Obviously, I would prefer a solution that will not add to our insect pest issues. Total exclusion of mice is difficult if not impossible as we are in an old building with an infinite number of possible entry points.
