DOG TREAT RECIPE: PEANUT BUTTER POPPERS!
Teach your dog good habits by rewarding them with these easy, ooey-gooey 3-ingredient Peanut Butter Poppers! They’re a breeze to make and will be gobbled up in no time at all! Be warned, these tasty morsels are a little messy to make, but their no-bake composition totally makes up for it1
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup natural stovetop popcorn
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- a 1/2 tsp of all natural honey (optional)
Directions
1. Pop popcorn in oil on stovetop and combine ingredients until popcorn is fully coated.
2. Use a tablespoon to gently ball into small little clusters on wax paper. Don’t worry if the kernels get crushed. Add a touch of honey if your peanut butter isn’t sticky enough to hold everything together.
3. Allow to set and serve (after good doggie behaviour, of course!)
