Tips and Tricks
- Use a deeper mold for these dog treats as you'll be layering them.
2. Place your silicone molds onto a cookie sheet for easier movement
3. Make sure you have a location in the freezer cleaned out and that the cookie sheet will fit for sure.
4. Use a relatively lightweight easy to handle pourable cup for pouring the liquid into the molds, because you are aiming for such a small and thin area.
5. These treats melt pretty fast.
How long do homemade dog treats last?
Because these treats are frozen and kept in the freezer, they will last for months!
Honestly, we go through these pretty quickly since both Ruby and Callie love them so much, but they should last up to 6 months.
You can either pop them out of the mold and store them in a bag or just keep them in the mold in the freezer.
Just keep them in the freezer to prevent them from getting too soft.
