Tasty Summer Treat

[Fluffypants]

Hi everyone,
I got this recipe from one of Jackie's dogster pals. She loves it, and so do the other dogs in our neighborhood, so I am passing it along as a healthy summer treat . . .

1) Melt one cup of peanut butter in the microwave (1 minute should be enough).
2) Mix in 32oz. of plain yogurt and (optional) 1-2 TBSP honey.
3) Pour into plastic cups (or muffin pan) and freeze.

Enjoy!

Thank you fluffypants; as you know Cody already tried this, per your suggestion and he loves them. I actually froze them in those plastic applesauce containers(the ones that you would put into a school lunch); I had saved these and just washed them out, and they work nicely

Thanks for the recipe!

I have been freezing tasty morsels into Mazie's "Kong" - she espcially likes a smashed banana mixed with a little wheat germ. The humidity in Ohio is starting to climb, so a nice "Kong-sicle" in the afternoon really hits the spot.

Thanks fot the recipe, my two love both of those ingredients!

We are having a heatwave and I freeze something in each of their Kongs everyday. Lately I've been using up the small cars of fruit & veg baby foods that I bought for Dylan's post op. They love them and one jar (25 cents) more than fills both Kongs, and is easy to pour.

Am I the only one thinking forget the dogs - I want one of those peanutbuter things ! LOL

Those are all really good and tasty ingredients for a Corgi and together they represents a dog treat.
The editor of a Corgi club newsletter in New Zealand placed in the last edition three recipes for Corgis and one of them included a half cup of raisins. So I wrote a letter to the editor pointing out that raisins are not a dog's best friend. Interesting to see if the lady editor will ever publish my letter and therefore retract on the recipe she had proffered.

I certainly hope that she 'adjusts' that recipe for dogs. Didn't realize that they were bad for them until just a few years ago. I don't know if they are a negative or not, but I don't share my grapes either.

The recipe sounds yummy! We can't wait to make them! We are heading down to the beach for the fourth of July so we'll have to make them down there for a really cool treat!! Thanks.

Barbara - yes grapes are just as toxic as would be sultanas.

I'm so glad I shared (thanks Linda!)!
And I had never even tought of freezing stuff in her Kongs before - what a GREAT idea!!!!!

[corgimom]

Yes, frozen yogurt in kongs is great - keeps them occupied for awhile when you are trying to get something done.

Here is a simple idea for a cool treat:
Dilute a can of beef or chicken broth (low sodium) with a half can of water. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Chloe LOVES ice cubes anyway and these "meaty tasting" ones are quite a hit with her! (Be sure your family knows about these doggie cubes, otherwise someone will be VERY surprised if they end up in lemonade or gin and tonic!!)

[corgimom]

That sounds like a good recipe. Thanks.

Those broth cubes sound like a great idea Margo! Jackie loves ice too, so I'm going to try those!
