White Chocolate Dipped Dog Bones

I wanted to make some special treats for the furry children in our families, but I wanted something super easy and quick. I decided to just buy some regular milkbones from the store, and dip them in melted white chocolate. You can also make your own bones, and do the same for a completely homemade treat!

White Chocolate Dipped Dog Bones

1 lb. white chocolate chips
2 - 3 dozen milkbones (you can probably get 4 dozen if you buy the smallest size bones)
Colored sprinkles

Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave or in a double boiler. Dip each biscuit halfway in the melted white chocolate. (I used a spoon to make sure I got both sides covered completely.) Set on parchment paper, wax paper or a silpat. Add colored sprinkles before chocolate sets, and allow chocolate to harden before packaging for your furry friends!

Peanut Butter Dog Bones

I have been in the kitchen a lot lately, and have been baking so many different treats for my husband and myself. I thought it was only fair to make some dog treats for our pup, Taos. This recipe was super easy, with only four ingredients, and Taos gobbled two of them up as soon as they had cooled. A nice treat for your pet!

Peanut Butter Dog Bones
From All Recipes

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted natural peanut butter
1 cup skim milk
Butter (I just used cooking spray)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. Stir together the flour and baking powder; set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter and milk. Stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness, and cut into shapes using cookie cutters. Place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

Yields about 18 cookies.
