Ooooops. . . . Turns out ta scary alien invaders twere not dangerous. Ackchewlly just cookie monsters wot Mum made spawcifically as Halloween dog treat for mywoofself.
Furry simple recipe, Mum sez:
ALIEN INVADER DOG TREATS
Preparation time 10 - 15 minutes. No cooking involved. Recommended for slim, healthy dogs.
12 Pretzel Rods - allowing one or two rods per dog
(Use fresh pretzels, and preferably organic, e.g. Newman's Own Organics brand.)
6 oz. tub freshly ground, pure Peanut Butter
(Grind your own PB at local gourmet grocer or food co-op!)
12 pairs Candy Eyeballs
(Look for Wilton brand candy eyeball decorations, which are approx. 0.43 inch diameter.)
Jars or cups - sufficient size and number to hold finished Alien Invaders without touching each other.
- Scrape salt crystals off pretzel rods. Try using fingernail as a scraper. Don't worry about removing every last salt crystal. (A dog should get a bit of salt in her diet -- unless the dog is on a no-salt diet for health reasons.)
- Coat about half the length of each pretzel rod with peanut butter: The coated end will become the alien's head. Dip rod into peanut butter and twirl to coat surface. Or use a tablespoon, dipping it into the PB and spreading it on the rod. Cover the pretzel surface, but don't create a thick PB coat.
- Press two candy eyeballs into the peanut butter "head" of each pretzel rod.
- Stand finished Alien Invader "head up" in jar so as not to touch other treats.
- Refrigerate jars of treats right away if not serving immediately. Should be eaten same day.
Paw note: Dogs usually insist that Alien Invaders be attacked and nommed immediately!
