Last fall, I made these layered treats for our neighborhood dog costume parade. Each little frozen candy corn got as many smiles from the humans as tail wags from the pups. They looked like candy, but they were pure wholesome goodness.

Bonding with My Dog During Prep

Layering these takes patience — it’s not just a quick scoop-and-go job. Each layer needs its moment to set perfectly before the next one is added, and that means a lot of opening and closing the freezer door. Evelyn doesn’t seem to mind one bit. In fact, she plants herself right beside the freezer, head tilted and eyes fixed on me like she’s on official duty, guarding her future treats from any potential “snack thieves.” Every time I pass by, her tail gives a hopeful wag, as if to remind me that all this effort is for her — and she’s ready the very second they’re done.

Customizing the Recipe

Use mashed sweet potato instead of pumpkin.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra aroma.
Make larger cubes for a slower treat.

Storage Tips

Freezer: Up to 2 months.
