"Molly Muffins" Dog Snacks for Our Girl

This made 3 1/2 dozen treats.

Every once in a while I get busy and make Molly's treats as I often shudder when remembering the recalls of pet foods.  And yes, I bought some of the "bad" stuff in my ignorance.  Not sure I am much smarter now but I have learned a few things.  No chocolate and no raisins come to mind.  But I still hold if it can easily be pronounced it is less a danger whether it is what we or our pets are eating!

There are several doggie treats I have made and shared.  This is a new one and is easily made in mini muffin tins with no rolling and cutting.  I thought these smelled great baking and Molly liked them just fine.  I warned her if she didn't I would send them to Oreo so you know she loved them!!

If you don't want to roll and cut these are just the ticket for treats in a snap!

The most difficult part of this little project was getting her to pose for a coupe of snaps!  She was just like a kid.  No cooperation, just wiggles!  But we worked it out, now everybody is happy!
