I’m going g to assume these will be hard and crunchy. What if I wanted them a bit soft?
Beverly Mckinley says
it is so very difficult to convince her that treats that are good for her are worth her time but these might catch her interest and it will be nice for her to have something special of her own at the holidays instead of begging/demanding/coercing at the table.
Jodi says
Your recipe says for the pumpkin..."16 oz (1 cup)". I’m somewhat confused by that...
Molly says
I apologize! Fast typing gets me in trouble sometimes. It should be 1 can (15-16 oz) or 16 oz. I have corrected the recipe 🙂
Jodi says
Okay, next batch I’ll use the can. I only used a cup this time and it was still quite sticky. I could roll them in my hand. I’m sure he is not going to mind at all! I dropped the dough directly to the parchment paper from my scoop.
Rosie says
These are such a delicious and nutritious treat - they won't be begging for food from the table - well almost!
Megan says
Wondering how long these will last?
Molly says
Up to a week in the refrigerator 🙂
Cindy W says
Great idea! I will be making these for my pups. Just curious though, why use stock and not just water? Is it a texture thing? or taste thing?
Molly says
They are much tastier with stock 🙂
Mary says
These look too good to be dog treats. They look perfect for us humans. The ingredients will keep me away, but these are some lucky dogs that get this.
Veronica Lee says
My fur baby would love these.
tracee says
These look like fantastic holiday treats (not that my girl needs any more treats... 🙂 )
Becky Richardson says
Had no idea dogs could at cranberries. Thanks for sharing.
Judy Thomas says
Brilliant idea to make your own pet treats because you never know for sure whats in other ones.
Karen says
Thanks for sharing! I will have to make these for my furbaby
