    I just went to the store and bought a package of 4 and paid almost $5.00. We have a husky and Jack Russell. I’m definitely making these. I just need to get some small containers.

      Im sure you can. Or even sun butter. I know people who have added dried oats to this recipe, dried cranberries, even tossing in blueberries.

    My dogs are LOVING these! I put them in muffin tins with cupcake liners. I put them in the deep freeze. After 45 minutes I added a dog biscuit sticking out like popsicle stick.

      If the Greek yogurt was plain and free of xylitol it should be fine.

    We have made these several times and our dogs love them but have never done the blender thing. Just mixed by hand. Will definitely be trying that.

    Just made these today for my sweet Luna Faye she’s a 7 month old Golden-doodle and she says 5 STARS!
    I make my own peanut better (so easy and saves $$$ buying it) and always keep really RIPE bananas in my freezer along with frozen blueberries. It’s better to make all doggie treats for our furry babies
    Thanks for sharing this recipe
