Carob Peanut Butter Balls - Dogster Recipe

This simple recipe requires no baking at all and doesn’t take long to make. Though you can make this one year-round, these dog treats would make an excellent special treat for any pup for any holiday. And as a bonus, humans can eat them, too! However, these treats are a bit high in fat due to the peanut butter they contain, so don’t feed your pup more than a few at once.
