Happy “Friday Treats Friday” everyone!  It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a homemade dog treat so I’m hoping your fur baby loves these  Puppy Peanut Butter Meatballs.  I first found the recipe from Stella and Chewy’s website which I will give to you but I changed it up a bit so I’ll give that to you also!  As I type this post, the kitchen is smelling of peanut butter and it smells delicious!  I might just have to try one of these treats (wink emoji).  

I wanted to make a pretzel stick out of the dough and wrap it around a dental chew that I buy from Chewy.com made by Get Naked.  That idea quickly went away once I realized my dough was too grainy so the idea of the meatballs came about. Maggie was wagging her tail the entire time because she could smell the coconut oil and peanut butter going into this recipe 🙂

These are super easy to make and my recipe made 30 meatballs.
