It’s that time of the year again and we want to provide some treats for your tricks! Here are some tasty Halloween treat recipes that will leave your pup begging for more.

Strawberry Shortcake Doggy Biscuits

Makes three dozen cookies

Ingredients

2 cups diced fresh strawberries
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2/3 cup heavy cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine strawberries, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and remaining granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in cream until dough starts to come together, then stir in strawberry mixture.

Using a small ice cream scoop, drop cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cookies will harden as they cool. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 4 squares white almond bark
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • sprinkles

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a stand mixer, combine all ingredients (peanut butter, egg, honey, oats, flour, oil and water), beating until a stiff dough forms.

Pat out the dough into a rectangle, about 1 inch in depth. Using a bone-shaped cookie cutter, cut into bones. Use all dough.

Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

To Dip/Decorate:

Melt almond bark and oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Once melted/smooth, dip half of the bone into almond bark and lay on parchment paper. Decorate with sprinkles or chopped peanuts and let cool completely.

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
