FURRY FRIENDS: DOG FRIENDLY EASTER EGGS

As a self-confessed dog nut, I am always trying to find ways to include Lola into our holiday celebrations. Easter is a little bit harder than the rest with the whole "dog and chocolate" situation.

Well not anymore - Enter Carob Doggy Eggs! Carob is basically a dog friendly alternative to choc, packed full of minerals and vitamin B.

I decided to try and make Lola and some of her pals some eggs so they could join in with the festivities.

Lola fussed and cried while I was making these and was more than happy to lick the spoon. Recipe is below!

INGREDIENTS:
x1 packet of carob treats (available at most good pet shops)
x1 Easter Egg mould
Peanut Butter
a handful of mini dog biscuits

METHOD:

1. Put a small saucepan of water on a low heat. Place bowl on top of saucepan and add carob treats. Stir until melted. Turn off heat.

2. Lightly grease your egg mould with coconut oil so the eggs are easier to get out.

3. Spoon melted carob in to the moulds, making sure the sides are well covered and not too thin.

4. Place in the fridge for about 10 mins.

5. Once carob has set, remove from moulds by gently tapping them on the bench. When you have your two halves, fill one half with dog biscuits.

6. Use peanut butter to secure both halves together. If you have some left over melted carob, wipe this over the peanut butter to make it look like a full chocolate egg.

7. Place back in the fridge to set. Once set, package up ready for your pup to enjoy!
