  • Prep 25 min
  • Total 40 min
  • Servings 18

Ingredients

  • 5 slices bacon
  • 2 slices Cheddar cheese (3/4 oz each)
  • 2 cups carob chips
  • 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

Steps

  • 1
    Line cookie sheet with foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon over low heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Coarsely chop bacon; set aside.
  • 3
    Using 1 1/4-inch small dog bone cookie cutter, cut 15 dog bone shapes out of cheese slices. Set aside.
  • 4
    In medium bowl, microwave carob chips uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir. Microwave 30 seconds longer. Stir in peanut butter.
  • 5
    Spread carob mixture on foil to 1/4-inch thickness, about a 9-inch square. Immediately sprinkle with bacon and cheese; press lightly into carob mixture. Chill until set, about 15 minutes in freezer, or 30 minutes in refrigerator.
  • 6
    Remove from foil; break into 18 pieces. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for 5 days.

  • Be sure to use carob chips--chocolate is harmful to canines.
  • Check with your vet to make sure these dog treats fit into your dog's diet. Check the recipe for any known foods or ingredients your pet may be allergic to.
