The good old Spotted dog

Here comes a really really traditional estonian dessert. When I was a child, this was one of the most common (and waited) treats on birthday tables. It is easy to make and easy to change according to your own preferences.

The last time I made this, was actually in Thailand. My 4-year old daughter went to kindergarden there and every child had to bring a dish from her home country for the Christmas party. It doesn´t need baking and you can get all the ingrediences probably everywhere in the world. You need:
600 gr of cookies of your own choice
250 gr unsalted butter
50 gr of dark chocolate (over 70 %)
A bit of chopped sour marmalade
A bit of chopped marshmellows
A bit of chopped nuts, dried fruits, raisins, meringue, halvah if you like
3 tbs of cacao powder
A bit of milk, if needed

Smash the cookies. Melt the butter, mix in the cookies and all the chopped ingridiences. If the mixture is too dry to shape, add a little bit of milk. Mix well. Roll a long and round roll, cover with plastic and let it stay in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Then remove plastic and cut quickly to about 5 mm thick slices. Keep in fridge until served. Goes well with fresh coffee ot tea.


PS! Inspiration for this recipe came from a beautiful estonian foodblog Pisike ja pisut segi
