This year, I used some slightly larger molds on Amazon shaped like Easter lambs! I’ll be using them to make special treats for the family dogs joining us this Easter, along with their humans!

What Are Dog-Friendly Peeps?

Dog-friendly Peeps are a fun, healthy twist on the sugary marshmallow treats we humans know and love. These treats use natural ingredients like strawberries, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter, so your dog can enjoy a flavorful Easter snack without any harmful additives.

Why Are These Ingredients Healthy for Dogs?

All the ingredients in these homemade treats were chosen with your pet’s health in mind:

Strawberries provide vitamin C and fiber, helping with digestion and immune health.
Peanut butter is a tasty protein source, as long as it’s free of xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
Greek yogurt contributes probiotics for gut health and a creamy texture dogs adore.
Blackberry jam (optional) is a low-sugar way to add decorative details safely.

Now, onto the fun part—making the treats!

Step-By-Step Recipe for Homemade Peeps for Dogs

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Freeze Time: 1-3 hours

Instructions:

Blend the Base Mixture

- Combine the frozen strawberries, peanut butter, yogurt, and water in the blender.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and runny, resembling the consistency of a smoothie.

Fill the Bunny Molds

- - Pour the blended mixture into your bunny-shaped silicone molds. Be careful not to overfill!
  - Lightly tap the mold on your counter to remove any air bubbles and evenly distribute the mixture.

Freeze the Treats

- - Place the filled molds in the freezer and leave for 1-3 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid.

Optional Decoration

- - Use a toothpick dipped in blackberry jam to add eyes and a nose to each bunny.
  - If the jam spreads too much, freeze the treats again briefly to set the details.

Serve and Enjoy

- - Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and serve. Your pup is in for an Easter delight!

Storage Tips:

Store the Peeps in an airtight container in the freezer. They’ll stay good for up to two weeks.

Important Notes for Dog Owners

Check for Allergies: While these ingredients are dog-safe, every pup is unique. Monitor your pet’s reaction the first time they try it.
Moderation Is Key: Though healthy, these treats should be considered a fun supplement, not a meal replacement.
Keep Frozen Until Serving: Since these are frozen treats, serve directly from the freezer to avoid melting.

Making treats at home allows you to control exactly what goes into your dog’s snacks. Avoid additives, preservatives, artificial colors, and other harmful ingredients found in some store-bought products. Plus, DIY dog treats are a fantastic way to bond with your pet and ensure they feel special during celebrations like Easter.
