I have 5 animals. 1 dog that thinks he is a cat and 4 cats that think they are people. I know, I know — this sounds absolutely excessive. It probably is, but each one of them has shown up needing a home and Jorge and I are helpless to turn them away. We are big old softies when it comes to adorable fuzzy faces.
While everyone on instagram (@thenovicechef) gets to enjoy their cuteness on a sometimes daily basis, I rarely share their darling little faces here on the blog. So this week when I made Brody a new batch of puppy treats for the 500th time, I decided it was time to share his favorite treat.
Brody is a huge peanut butter fan and like his mama, loves everything more if it’s coated in sprinkles. That may not be true, but thankfully he can’t tell me that it isn’t.
These treats are really easy to make and it’s nice knowing everything that goes into his treats is something I myself would eat. Plus, they are super fun to decorate for Christmas and give to all of his puppy friends. …yes, I am that person that gives homemade puppy treats to friends who have dogs. Just wait till I have actual kids, it will only be amplified. 
Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
Yield: 24 medium bones
I have this set of bone cookie cutters and used the medium size for these biscuits.
Ingredients:
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 large egg
1/4 cup honey
1 cup old fashioned oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup waterOptional:
4 squares white almond bark
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
sprinklesDirections:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
In a stand mixer, combine all ingredients (peanut butter, egg, honey, oats, flour, oil and water), beating until a stiff dough forms.
Pat out dough into a rectangle, about 1 inch in depth. Using a bone shaped cookie cutter, cut into bones. Use all dough.
Bake for 30 minutes, flipping half way through. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
To Dip/Decorate:
Melt almond bark and oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Once melted/smooth, dip half of bone into almond bark and lay on parchment paper. Decorate with sprinkles or chopped peanuts and let cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Love this! And my little pooch, Bacon, says thanks for the recipe.

Is the almond bark ok for the dogs? I know chocolate is not good for them and I use the carob chips for my dogs treats.

Yup, Almond Bark is perfectly safe. The ingredients are: Sugar, Palm Kernel Oil, Whey Powder, Soy Lecithin and Artificial Flavor.
They shouldn’t eat a ton of it since it is fattening, but neither should we. It’s perfectly safe for them.

my dogs will flip…getting the flour tomorrow!
Michelle — October 8, 2012 @ 10:45 pm
just wondering… can humans eat these?!?
Jessica replied: — October 9th, 2012 @ 12:19 pm
They are really dry and not as sweet as our cookies, but sure.

You just became Huck’s best friend. He loves the “Pea-Mutt” butter treats – but has grown tired of my banana ones. Time for mom to switch it up for the fur baby

OMG!! This is cuteness overload — especially with the added rainbow sprinkles!

These pictures are adorable, I can’t take my eyes off your sweet dog! The recipe really gets subsidiary.

I’ve made treats for my dog, Mojo, before (and to give as gifts to my dog loving friends), but should do so more often, since they really are so easy and way cheaper and healthier than store bought. So far Mojo’s favorites (haha! like he really has a favorite, he eats anything!) are a Peanut Butter Pumpkin variety!

your dog is so cute! I have a Newfoundland, so I think I’ll have to make a bigger size bone shape!! I can’t wait to make these for him!

I’ll have to add these in to our regular rotation of blueberry + pumpkin! Rosey + Ramble will definitely devour these – and I can’t get over the addition of the almond bark + sprinkles!

You can avoid giving your dog stomach problems with the wheat by swapping it with either instant oats or a finer milled oat. I wouldn’t recommend any dog product with wheat in it.

Hello! I made these and unfortunately they turned out quite a bit darker than yours. I followed the recipe to a T and even only cooked them 20 minutes since when I went to flip them at 15 min the bottoms were almost burnt. I managed to save them by dipping the crisped bottoms rather than the halves & my dog still loves them but I thought I’d see if you have any advice so they come out better next time. Thanks!
Jessica replied: — March 27th, 2013 @ 10:59 am
Hi Kerri!
I wonder if they were a little too thin? That is the only reason I can imagine them browning so fast. I made another bath just last month and had no issues.
My best suggestion is just to watch them and flip them as soon as they are starting to brown.
