Ingredients and What They Bring to the Candy

Each ingredient plays an important role in creating smooth, glossy candy that hardens beautifully in molds. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the carob treats:

• Unsweetened carob chips – a dog-safe alternative to chocolate
• Coconut Oil – has healthy fats and helps harden the treats

For the carob peanut butter treats:

• Unsweetened carob chips – an alternative to chocolate that is safe for dogs.
• Natural creamy peanut butter – has protein, healthy fats, and is a flavor dogs love.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Here are a few important tips and simple swaps to keep in mind.

• Do not use peanut butter that contains xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs.
• You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter, as long as it is xylitol-free.
• If you can’t find unsweetened carob chips locally, you can get sugar-free carob chips on Amazon.

Equipment Needed

You probably already have what you need for melting the candy. The key piece is Easter silicone candy molds to create fun shapes like eggs, bunnies, ducks, and baskets.
