{Recipe Recap} Puppy Party Treats

I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to have a theme party so a “sip and see” for Monte was the perfect opportunity to get a little creative with some treats.

I made some Biscoff Rice Krispie Treats and used a cookie cutter I bought just for the occasion to make them fit my theme.

These things were gone in no time.  I will definitely be making them again.  Wonder if they’ll taste as good as squares…

Next up was some Peanut Butter Butterscotch Puppy Chow made with a bag of butterscotch chips, a cup of peanut butter, and half a stick of butter.  This stuff was VERY sweet.  That’s not a complaint, just an observation.  I really liked the flavor, but Shawn said he prefers original Puppy Chow.

And finally, my favorite treat – the Kibble Cake.

Pretty convincing, huh?

I bought a new dog bowl from Walmart for the cake to go in.  I baked a yellow cake, part of the batter in a regular cake pan and the other part in a Dutch oven so I could get the round shape I needed.

I used this frosting recipe, which was good, but it ended up being too crusty for my purposes because the cocoa pebbles didn’t stick to it as well as I needed.

What do you think, Monte?  Does this bowl of dog food look like something you’d like to eat?

I can’t take credit for the idea of the cake as I saw something similar on the interweb.  But I had to figure out how to make it look believable and I think I succeeded.

Ah, the weekend’s upon us!  It’s been a long week, and I am looking forward to the weekend.  Fingers crossed that Monte continues his habit of not making any noise in the morning and letting us wake up on our own on Sunday.
