Ingredient Notes

- Ghirardelli Dark Melts – These melts create a rich, smooth shell and set beautifully in the fridge. If using white or colored melts, you can match the theme of your event or holiday.

Before You Bake
Do I need to bake the cookie dough first?
Nope! Eat Pastry Confetti Cookie Dough is completely safe to eat raw. That’s what makes this recipe quick, easy, and no-bake.
Can I use a different mold if I don’t have a paw print?
Yes! Any silicone mold will work. Hearts, stars, or seasonal shapes are all great options—just make sure it’s freezer-safe and easy to pop the dough out.
Should I fully dip the bites or just coat the bottom?
Totally up to you. Fully dipping gives you a chocolate shell, while dipping just the bottom lets the paw print design shine through. Both work!
