Notes
Grind old-fashioned oats in food processor, or buy oat flour if you don't have a food processor.
Please see post for brands of peanut butter that contain xylitol - these are to be avoided for the safety of your pet.
Use regular molasses, not blackstrap.
Place dog-friendly icing in a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to drizzle icing.
