Okay, can we just talk about how ridiculously cute these Chocolate Dachshund Treats are? I first saw something like them online and knew I had to try making my own. They look complicated, but they’re surprisingly simple—and since there’s no actual baking, you can’t really mess them up. I brought a batch of these to a friend’s party, and they were the first thing to disappear from the dessert table. They’re just pure, edible happiness.
Ingredients
You don’t need a ton of fancy stuff for these, which is the best part. Here’s what to grab:
- A package of those cream-filled wafer rolls (Pirouettes work great for the long bodies)
- One bag of milk chocolate melting wafers (these melt way better than regular chocolate chips)
- A block of brown modeling chocolate or fondant
- Edible candy eyeballs (a total game-changer!)
- A tiny tube of black icing (optional, but good for touch-ups)
- Some tiny flower sprinkles, if you’re feeling extra

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Alright, first up are the bodies. Get your chocolate wafers melted down—just follow the simple directions on the bag. Dip each wafer roll so it’s completely coated, then lay them on some parchment paper. Pro tip: The parchment paper is your best friend here; they’ll pop right off once they’re dry.
Step 2: While those are setting, it’s time for the arts-and-crafts part. Grab your modeling chocolate and roll little oval-ish balls for the heads. Gently pinch one end to make a snout. For the ears, just flatten two tiny pieces and stick ’em on. Don’t forget to roll a tiny, pointy piece for the tail! Don’t worry about making them all perfect; their little quirks are what make them cute.
Step 3: Time to put your little guys together. Once the bodies are firm, use a little dab of the leftover melted chocolate as glue. Stick the head on one end and the tail on the other. Gently press the ears onto the head so they look nice and floppy.
Step 4: This is where they really come to life. Use a tiny bit more melted chocolate to stick on the candy eyeballs. You’ll be amazed at how much personality they suddenly have! For that final touch, stick a little flower sprinkle by one of the ears. Let everything fully harden before you let anyone grab one.
