There is a lot of demand for gourmet dog treats these days. But why pay $15.00 for a small bag of treats when you can make your own for a fraction of the price, and with healthier ingredients. Peanut butter dog treats are something that no dog can resist, and the following is an excellent recipe that we use a lot.

• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 cups chunky peanut butter
• 1pkg yeast
• ½ lukewarm water
• 3 eggs
• 3 ½ cups white flour
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup corn meal

Mix the potatoes, milk, chicken stock and peanut butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then pour into a bowl (heat proof) and let cool to room temperature. Dissolve yeast in the warm water and add to peanut butter mix. Lightly whisk the three eggs and add to peanut butter mix.

Gradually, blend into the mix the whole wheat and white flours and corn meal. Once well mixed, knead well. Roll out dough to 1/2" thickness and cut into shapes. Place on a greased cooking sheet. Score deeply with a knife and bake for 45 mins at 300 degree. Depending on the size of the shapes, you should be able to yield 6 dozen medium biscuits.

When learning how to make gourmet dog treats, it's important to remember that it can be fun, save you some money, and provide your dog with healthier and more nutritious treats (than the commercial variety).
