Makes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted, no xylitol)

  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken or beef broth

  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder

  • ½ cup warm water

How To Make

  1. Bloom the gelatin
    In a small bowl, add gelatin powder to the warm water and let it sit for 3–5 minutes so it can bloom.

  2. Warm the broth
    In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm the broth. Do not boil.

  3. Mix the peanut butter
    Add the peanut butter to the warm broth and whisk until fully combined and smooth.

  4. Add the gelatin mixture
    Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm peanut butter mixture and whisk until dissolved.

  5. Pour into molds
    Pour the mixture into silicone dog treat molds or a shallow dish.

  6. Chill
    Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until fully set.

  7. Remove and serve
    Pop treats out of molds or cut into bite-size pieces.

How To Store

  • Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

  • For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months.

  • If frozen, thaw a few treats in the fridge before serving.

Because these treats contain gelatin and broth, they should always be kept chilled.

Serving Sizes

  • Small dogs (under 20 lbs): 1 small treat

  • Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 1–2 treats

  • Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3 treats

Serve as an occasional reward, not a meal replacement.
