Peanut Butter Cups
For dogs, candy and chocolate-covered raisins, are off limits. Chocolate, especially, can be toxic to our four-legged friends. But that doesn’t mean your pet has to miss out on sampling some delicious DIY dog treats. The peanut butter cup replaces chocolate with carob, which is safe for dogs. Your dog deserves a special treat at every festival.

- 2 cups of carob chips, divided in half
- 4 tbsp. of coconut oil, divided in half
- 4 tbsp. of natural peanut butter*
- (*Note: Make sure your peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.)
Instructions
- Place the cupcake liners in the cupcake tin.
- Melt 1/2 of the carob chips (1 cup) and 1/2 of the coconut oil (2 tbsp.) in a double boiler.
- Whisk the carob chips and coconut oil until they’re fully melted and smooth.
- Spoon 1 tbsp. of the melted mixture into each cupcake liner to create a thin layer.
- Shake the pan to level out the carob mixture and prevent bubbles. Place the tin in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
- Once set, add 1 tsp. of peanut butter into each cupcake liner, and then place the tin back in the freezer for another 10 minutes to set.
- Repeat the carob and coconut oil melting process with the second half of the carob chips and coconut oil.
- Once smooth, add 1 tbsp. of the melted mixture into each cupcake liner to create a thin layer, making sure to completely cover the set peanut butter.
- Shake the pan to smooth the carob mixture and prevent bubbles, and place back in the freezer for another 10 minutes or until firm.
- Serve and watch your pup enjoy. Store in the freezer.
