Recipe notes
These are certainly a treat you can share with your dog if he or she will let you. Just be warned because of their size they could represent a choking hazard to small children, and also be aware they are rather crunchy so be mindful of those fillings!
These treats will keep in a sealed jar for 4 days, keep in the fridge for 7 days or frozen in a sealed tub for up to 3 months.
Always remember to allow for any treats you give your dog when calculating his or her food for the day.
