A Real Treat for Your Dog: Homemade LiverSnaps!

​Our dogs are what they eat, so if we want them to live long healthy lives it only makes sense that their treats are healthy too, right?  If you're looking for a bad-weather day activity to do with the kids, or if you just love baking and want to do a little something special for your dog, making homemade dog treats is a great way to pass the time (and your dog will love the results)!  One of my favorite treats to make (and my Scout's favorite to eat) is my LiverSnaps recipe! 

​I formulated this recipe by combining some of my other favorite treat recipes and substituting healthier ingredients such as garbanzo flour (which makes these biscuits grain-free), coconut oil, peanut powder and fresh chicken livers.  You may think "eww, chicken liver!" but let me tell you, it draws attention from many of the dogs (I've even had discerning dogs who are selective about their baked treats gobble up my LiverSnaps!).  Cooking the chicken livers may not smell so great to some of us, but the sweet smell of the other ingredients when baking makes up for it in my opinion. And since you can usually buy a 16oz container of chicken livers from your grocery store for less than $2.00, it can be inexpensive to make these biscuits that your dog will love!
