Easy Peanut Butter Cinnamon Molasses Dog Treats
We ran out of dog treats the other day, which may not sound like a big deal, but Honey and Barley think this is catastrophic. Considering I use treats to bribe them to do things like go to the bathroom outside (Honey) or give me twenty minutes of uninterrupted anything (Barley), I would have to agree.
Instead of buying another box of gluten-free, vegan peanut butter dog cookies or cbd dog treats that cost triple what I would pay for human cookies, I made my own. They’re quick and easy, I know exactly what’s in them, and in case you were wondering, they don’t taste half bad either. I know this because there was one night when I got home from the gym and had that feed-me-NOW hunger, and I shared one with Honey.
Don’t tell Barley.
