Instructions

Prepare the Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, chocolate chips if using, and a pinch of sea salt. This forms the flavorful base for your frozen dog treats.
Mix: Gently stir the ingredients until they are evenly combined. Taste the mixture (if appropriate) and adjust the sweetness or peanut butter intensity to your preference for your dog’s taste.
Prepare for Freezing: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare a mini muffin tin to hold individual portions of the yogurt mixture.
Shape: Spoon or pour the yogurt mixture into the lined baking sheet in small dollops or into each cup of the mini muffin tin, creating bite-sized portions perfect for dogs.
Add Toppings (Optional): For added texture and flavor, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips, drizzle a bit of peanut butter, or add chopped nuts on top of each portion.
Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet or muffin tin carefully into your freezer. Freeze for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until the bites are completely solid and fully frozen.
Store: Once frozen, remove the treats from the baking sheet or tin and transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. Store for up to 2 to 3 months to maintain freshness.

If your dog has allergies or dietary restrictions, consult your veterinarian before introducing these treats.
