They look tasty for your dog
My dog would be too scared to eat that ghost, lol. Seriously, he would devour them all. Thanks for posting!
What a cute idea and so festive!! I bet my dog would love these!
These look and sound good enough for people to eat. They would be an adorable Halloween treat from Gramma/Me and PopPop for our granddoggies! We love them and we love bringing or sending them treats whenever we can!
What a cute treat for the furbabies. I like the holiday shapes.
This is a great recipe to make for your dog!
Look good enough to eat! For a dog, that is.
Thanks for the recipe! You posted it at the perfect time; I have over-ripe bananas on the counter that I need to use today. Guess there will be 4 happy pups in a few hours.
As much as I like banana my dog’s gonna love it!
These look so fun! I haven’t thought about giving our dog squash but I imagine he would love it because he really loves sweet potatoes.
So cute! Would love to make these for my sisters dog Luna.
Those are such fun treats. And won’t hurt if the kids eat them.
These look great! I think I might have to sneak a taste!
My daughter makes dog treats she would enjoy making these
I bet dogs go crazy over these. They are so cute!
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I would love to make these Halloween treats for my brother’s dog!
They look awesome! Seriously though, I doubt if my picky little dude would eat them. I love the little guy to pieces but he sure can be a pain when it comes to eating
