(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 31, 2007 ) Aberlour-on-Spey, Scotland – Walkers Shortbread, the world famous family-owned bakery, suggests Shortbread Chocolate Dips for a romantic Valentine’s Day treat.

Walkers’ enthusiasts, already familiar with its award-winning reputation of baking using only the freshest, purest and finest ingredients, will be delighted with this variation on their favorite shortbread for a February 14th treat.

Romantics will find it’s easy to make Shortbread Dips. You need only a bar of baking chocolate and a box of Walkers Fingers. Simply melt the chocolate in a microwave for two minutes and stir until smooth. When ready, just dip the Shortbread Fingers and cover the cookies as much or as little as you like with the melted chocolate. You can either let the chocolate dry on the shortbread to serve later or enjoy while the chocolate is still warm.

Either way, the taste of biting through the soft chocolate into the crunchy and buttery shortbread is not to be missed.

To get a bit more creative, after dipping the shortbread in the melted chocolate, try rolling in any number of toppings either individually or in any combination from chopped nuts, mini-chocolate chips, slivered almonds and grated coconut to orange zest.
