This recipe is super fun and easy for everyone to help make! We hope you enjoy making them as much as we did!
As always, we recommend discussing with your veterinarian before feeding anything to your dog. This (and many other) recipes contain peanuts, eggs, dairy and may not be appropriate for all dogs.
Please note: chocolate and xylitol ARE DEADLY FOR DOGS!
When it comes to sweetening your treats, NEVER use chocolate or xylitol. Both are highly toxic to dogs and just a little could be deadly. Many peanut butters also contain xylitol so please always double check the label before giving it your pup.
