Normally I would have cropped the photo above a little closer but I wanted to show the cord to the left of the dipping bowl. One of the things that always frustrated me when I would dip cookies, candies, pretzels or dog treats was the fact that after a while the chocolate would begin to thicken as it cooled.
On Friday I remembered that I had just purchased a new candle warmer for the family room. The light went off in my head! I could use the little warmer to keep my white chocolate from getting thick as it cooled. I am here to tell you that it works like a charm! One of my greatest frustrations had just disappeared! Now, all I have to do is buy another candle warmer for the family room!
My little dog cookies all decorated and ready for the bake sale. Well, not 'all' of them. Scout and Freyja made me promise to keep a few bags at home for them☺
Stop on over to Beverly's HOW SWEET the SOUND today for the list of all the blogs celebrating PINK SATURDAY today. You are in for a special treat - they are some of the sweetest bloggers in the Universe.

Oh MiMi Sweetie...
I so love these precious little dog cookies. I bet your critters just love them. How very precious they are. They look good enough for people by jove.
Candle warmer hu? Who would have thought? I thank you for this tip because yes how many times does it harden and make it hard to finish the rest of the batch.
Oh sweetie thank you for sharing with me tonight. I love it. Have a Happy Valentine's Day.
Country hugs and so much love, Sherry

Happy Valentines Day!! Winona
Mimi, those are the cutest doggie cookies ever! My Molly would help herself to a whole tray if I let her! What a great idea using a candle warmer for the white chocolate! I have the same problem when I do my chocolate covered pretzels. I think I'll visit my nearest candle shop! Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by to visit! Hugs, Terri
Mimi- I love when you visit my blog too. You always leave the loveliest messages. I know how you feel about the long hard winter. Living in the snow belt of Massachusetts is a real challenge in the wintertime. I am so not a snow lover! I have more Pink Saturday girlie stories coming so stay tuned. For now I am California Dreaming.........Joyce
What beautiful pink cookies, and happy Valentine's day!
Wonderful looking cookies, and Happy Valentine!
Happy Valentines Day Mimi! Those are such cute looking treats and bags up so sweetly too.
Enjoyed your pink Saturday showing very much. Sorry I am late visiting, have been without power. Thanks for your nice comment.
Mimi! I love the little dog treats, oh my furbabies would LOVE to try those? Do you sell them? You should. I order dog biscuits from a bakery in Texas, all natural..I love giving them 'good' goodies.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such nice comments. I did not get around to very many blogs yesterday, so trying to catch up too.
Have a wonderful week
Barb
Oh my gosh! Pink Sat. doggy treats! Wow. Must have been some happy little puppies. : ) Happy Belated Pink Sat.
Blessings,
Tricia
Looks like your puppies are much loved!
Oh, my puppy would love those cookies.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. You always say the sweetest things and make me feel good.
Bless you and have a good week.
Hi Mimi!
What an awesome job you've done on the Pup Cookies........ :-) My little Ruby Mae PetuniaBelle would just love 'em!..........
Happy Valentine's Day and Pink Saturday...rolled into one.
Warm blessings,
Spencer
What a genius idea - and so pretty too. Way nicer than the bone shapes everyone seems to be fixated on. And I love your new background.
Sorry for being so late - I'm really having to limit my computer time because of my eye, so I'm only managing a few blogs each session (taken me the whole weekend to visit around 20) but no way was I going to miss visiting you!
Happy PS, Valentine's Day and a freezing cold though sunny Monday morning in the UK.
:-)
Hi Mimi! Happy Valentine and Pink Saturday. Thanks for stopping by to see my pinks too. You are too smart that candle warmer is a great idea. I have a couple of them and if you are working away at your desk with a cup of coffee you can just sit it on your candle warmer and voila always hot coffee. I love visiting your blog. I know I have not been for a while I have been making quilts etc. Oh yes those doggie cookies must have been a great hit too cute.
Hi Mimi!
Wow, what great looking doggie treats!!! My dogs would LOVE those!
Hope you had a nice weekend!
Mimi, what a wonderful treat for your little friends. I love the whole idea.
I think you should sell them too.
I have often thought of making my own doggie treats but do not know how.
I will remember the candle warmer..I have had the same problem.
Have a great day, hugs mary
Lovely cookies, Mimi and very clever use of your candle warmer.
I also appreciate your support of the Humane Society and against animal cruelty. God Bless, and thank you for your P.S. visit. I'm really late after getting a cold on Saturday. My best to you and yours.
Doncha just love it when ya get a great idea like that?! How neat, you made doggy biscuits...I've been thinking about doing that lately for our doggy. Yours look so pretty. "...kiss everyone you love even if they have hairy lips"...too funny ;)
Oh Man! grilled chocolate, yum!
I am glad your heart is lightened when you visit down south where the 'winter butterflies' DON'T fly. (just read that on your sidebar)
Looks like a fun project making packages of sweet treats.
Love those little pink birds too (on the sidebar) Hey, I'm easily distracted.
Happy Monday Blessings ;-)
Hi Mimi, It was so nice to have you come by to visit.... I'm glad you had enjoyed yourself. I have to tell you I'm now a follower of yours due to the fact how lovely your blog is and with so much info on animals..... I very fond of them and had also rescued so many animals in my life time taking care of them and then releasing them back into the wild. God Bless for having a Big Heart for them as well..
I'm sure the doggies are going to have a yummy of a time.
Happy Happy Pinks to YOu-
Thank you so much my friend for stopping by and leaving such sweet comments! Hope you had a Happy Pink Valentine's Day! What cute treats! I recently went to a shower where they used something similar to your warmer (not sure what it was) and they put cake icing in it for dipping fruit. They had one for white frosting and one for chocolate. Just straight icing from the can. It was really good. We're always learning something new!
Mimi , Your dog treats look yummy! My Sasha has never had anything that good. Poor little canine she just gets store bought doggie treats so I am not going to show her this post!!!! Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.
Blessings Meg
YUMMY Valentine cookies.. le sigh... I never had any!
Hi Mimi,
Candle warmers and a god send aren't they? I have found they work great as encaustic warmers too.
Thanks so much for popping over. Hope your Valentine's Day was extra special. Sounds like it was for the pups. :)
Cheers! =D
~Kitty Kellie
Your doggie treats are so special! I have a friend who makes her doggies biscuit treats that she keeps on hand for them. Your post on fur trade was special. I don't understand why people needlessly slaughter such beautiful little creatures. How wonderful to know that some people are wising up and donating awful fur coats to such a good cause. Blessings to you dear Mimi for always having something wonderful to share. :) TAmmy
Wish I knew more about where to send you for Victorian die cuts...I have found emages and cut them out myelf for the most part. I look for old books, google, just search. Have a good day, Mary
Happy Pink Saturday! We received a few winter butterflies this past week!
Blessings,
Sandi
I'm confused - are they dog treats or people treats? Anyway - hope you're okay - don't see a 2/20 post for Pink Sat. You won over at Beansie Babbles -- she posted that today - congrats!!! Jenn <><
