Are they supposed to be chewy, or dog treats?

Mine turned out pretty chewy in consistency but I thought that they would have turned out more rigid. Did I use too much peanut butter and not enough cornstarch? Did I microwave them too long? Did I use the wrong type of peanut butter?

Chef's Answer ~ They are suppose to be chewy. The "lollipop" term is a general statement, not an exact definition of what the end dog treat will be like. Like the turkey and stuffing dog treat recipe is made with turkey baby food, bread crumbs and spices, not actual turkey meat and traditional stuffing.

In addition, one reason lollipops are hard is because of the high amount of sugar that solidifies to make a glossy hard treat. Since our dogs don't need all that extra sugar, this treat is meant to be more chewy.

I hope this has helped, and I hope your dog liked the treats, even if they were chewy instead of hard. Happy Dog Treat Baking! :)

How do you use a muffin pan for the lollipops?

by Tracey
(Lake George, NY)

my question would be...if you are using a muffin pan for lollipops...how do you put the sticks in and get them to stay? also ....the carob, can it be both sweet and unsweetened?

Chef's Answer ~ The peanut butter mixture is very thick, so you should not have any problem getting the rawhide (or other edible choice) to stay standing upright.

If you are using a mini muffin pan, use just one rawhide stick. If you are using a regular sized muffin pan, you may want to use a thicker rawhide stick for stability. Or, you could add two or three rawhide sticks, instead. In that case I would recommend tying them together with twine or even a strip of plastic wrap. Just be sure to remove these things before serving to your dog.

You can use sweetened or unsweetened carob chips in this recipe because it is such a small amount. But, if you have the choice, unsweetened is the way to go.

Happy Dog Treat Baking! :)

Just wondering, could I freeze these?

Would you be able to freeze these? For longevity or an extra cold treat?

Chef's Answer ~ Absolutely! These would make a great popsicle type dog treat

Lollipops

by Leslea
(Illinois)

Did not work for me anyone have the secret to their success, they just fell apart after I took them out of the mold.

Chef's Answer ~ This is a tricky recipe. It is best to use plain shaped and deep molds. Try using an ice cube tray for your lollipops.

Hopefully another dog treat baker will be able to give you their suggestions, too. :)
