4 Best Homemade Easter Dog Treat Recipes

1. DIY Dog Friendly Easter Eggs

Ingredients:

Instructions

1. Melt
   Set up a double boiler and melt the drops over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Keep the heat low to avoid burning.

2. Fill
   Spoon into moulds and tap on the counter to remove air bubbles. Leave a small gap at the top and level with a knife if needed.

3. Chill
   Refrigerate for about 20 minutes until firm. Remove the solid halves and place on baking paper.

4. Seal
   Refill the mould with freshly melted mixture. Place the chilled halves on top of the wet mixture to seal. Do not chill before adding the halves.

5. Set
   Refrigerate again for 20 to 30 minutes. Once firm, pop them out and smooth any rough edges with a warm finger.

Done.
