As it's raining today, and my own pup came in with 'muddy boots', I thought it would be fun to dip these Scottie dogs in Chocolate. I decided on milk chocolate to be more 'mud-like'. Apologies for the photo.. I didn't shake the cookies off after I dipped them. That would have shown the shape better, but they still taste wonderful! And, these Scottie Dogs don't need to be walked in the rain!
Walkers Shortbread Scottie Dogs with Muddy Boots
Ingredients
4 squares of Guittard baking milk chocolate
a bit of sweet butter
Directions
Melt chocolate and butter together in the top of a double boiler or saucepan over saucepan with simmering water. Stir so it doesn't seize.
Dip Shortbread Scottie dogs in 'mud'. Remember that Scotties are low to the ground, so dip as low as you like. Be more professional than I was, and shake the excess chocolate from the shortbread cookie.
Put chocolate covered Scotties on parchment and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to harden.
You can also dip in chocolate and roll in chopped nuts. You know dogs-- they pick up 'debris.'
What a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteShock horror! you have defaced the national emblem of my country...Just kidding this is an awesome idea and Walkers is already tasty without chocolate so after dipping they must taste even better!
ReplyDeleteTake care..
Aww they're so cute! :D
ReplyDeleteLooks better than my dog who gets real muddy boots when it rains!
ReplyDeleteMuch sweeter, too!
Would you believe I just bought a box of these?! What a great idea, but then pretty much anything is better dipped in chocolate. (Although, I'm still looking askance at the chocolate-dipped bacon in the new Chocolate Issue of Food Network magazine.
