DOGGIE S'MORES DOG TREATS

Steps:

• Make the graham crackers: Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the milk, peanut butter and chickpea flour in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix until smooth (or mix the dough by hand). Roll out the dough on a floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out 24 squares using a 2 1/2-inch fluted square cutter. Prick each square with a fork in 2 places to resemble a graham cracker and to allow steam to escape.
• Arrange the dough squares on the baking sheet and bake 18 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the graham crackers are golden brown around the edges, 4 to 10 more minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
• Make the carob filling: Combine the carob chips and vegetable oil in a bowl. Melt in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring. (Keep an eye on it - carob burns faster than chocolate.)
• Spread about 1 tablespoon of the melted carob mixture on the underside of 12 of the crackers, spreading it almost to the edges. Let cool and harden.
• Make the marshmallow filling: Mix the gelatin powder with the water in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside until fully bloomed, 3 to 5 minutes. Microwave the mixture until pourable, 10 to 15 seconds.
• Clean out the mixer. Beat the egg whites in the mixer with the whisk attachment on medium speed until foamy.
• Pour in the gelatin mixture, increase the mixer speed to high and beat until stiff and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and snip a corner. Pipe a 2-inch mound of the marshmallow on top of the carob-covered graham crackers, then immediately top each with another graham cracker.

PB AND PUMPKIN PRETZEL DOG TREATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the pumpkin puree, eggs and peanut butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until well combined. Gradually beat in the flour until a stiff dough forms.
• Scoop out a baseball-size ball of dough and roll into an 18-inch-long rope. Form into a U shape, then cross the ends and press them against the bottom of the U. Transfer to the prepared pan. Repeat to make 8 to 10 pretzels.
• Bake until the pretzels are golden brown, 12 to 16 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
