Ingredients
  

  • Amount Unit Name Notes
  • 2 cups Seedless watermelon I use fresh seedless watermelon for the fruity base and natural moisture.
  • 2 tablespoons Natural peanut butter I use xylitol-free peanut butter with no added chocolate or other unsafe ingredients.

Equipment

  • Blender: 1 Silicone dog treat mold: 1 Measuring cup: 1 Small spoon: 1 Freezer: 1

Method
 

  1. Prepare the watermelon
  2. Cut the watermelon into small pieces and remove any seeds or rind. Measure 2 cups of watermelon.
  3. Blend the watermelon
  4. Add the watermelon pieces to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
  5. Add the peanut butter
  6. Add the peanut butter and blend again until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  7. Fill the molds
  8. Pour the mixture into silicone dog treat molds, leaving a little room at the top for expansion while freezing.
  9. Freeze the treats
  10. Place the molds flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the treats are completely firm.
  11. Remove and serve
  12. Pop the frozen treats out of the molds and serve one to your dog as an occasional treat. Let the treat sit for a minute or two if it is very hard.
Recipe Notes
  1. Use xylitol-free peanut butter only. Xylitol is toxic to dogs. Check the ingredient label carefully before using peanut butter.
  2. Remove watermelon seeds and rind before blending. Serve these treats in moderation because watermelon contains natural sugar and too much can cause digestive upset.
  3. Store the frozen treats in an airtight freezer-safe container or freezer bag for up to 2 weeks for the best quality.
