These treats are super crunchy and made with all-natural ingredients, make sure to check that your peanut butter is free from xylitol. Xylitol is a sweetener that some brands use to flavor the peanut butter, perfectly fine for humans but toxic to dogs.
For this recipe, we cut the dog treats into bone shapes using a cookie cutter. Cut your dog’s treats any shape you prefer, your pup really won’t mind! There are cookie cutters available shaped like dogs, paws, or kennels, which will all achieve a true dog treat look.
