- Hello, everybody.
Welcome back.
Welcome back to Paddington's Pantry, where my puppy
Paddington and I make some dog-friendly treats.
So this actually isn't Paddington, if you are new.
This is Treacle, who is my other puppy,
and she did a little cameo in this video.
They know when I'm filming.
They're like, no I don't want to be in it.
But today I'm gonna show you how to make some
Valentine's Day treats for your dog, which is so cute.
Your dogs deserve to have some
Valentine's Day treats as well.
So these are carob chocolate lollipops,
so there's actually no chocolate in them.
Dogs can't have chocolate.
It's so toxic, one of the most toxic things
you can give to your dog.
Do not give them chocolate, but carob is a safe alternative,
and we have some dry chicken bits on the back.
Isn't that delicious?
I think we have a very satisfied puppy.
So, let's get started.
So, first things first, you're going to need some carob.
So I found mine at Bulk Barn, which is a store in Toronto,
but you can also get it on Amazon, so I will link it
down below, as well as like the quantities
and everything that you need.
Quantities aren't incredibly, like, critical for this recipe
because you're just melting some carob.
But anyway, once you have your carob chips,
you want to place them in a microwave-safe bowl
and microwave them at 30 second intervals
until it's fully melted.
And if your dog is helping you, like Paddington
is helping me, you want to make sure if they're gonna
lick it while it's melted, make sure it's not hot
because you don't want them to burn
their little puppy tongue.
That's why I tasted it, and I don't like carob.
So yeah, that was a learning experience for me,
but at least I know that it's safe.
It was safe for Paddington to lick.
And then you want to pour it into
a lollipop mold of your choice
And if you are using lollipop sticks, you want to make sure
that when you give it to your dog, you hold onto the stick
because it's a choking hazard for your dog if you
just give it to them, depending on the size of your dog.
So, it's cute for the video because you see them like,
licking the lollipop and everything, but you can either
just use little, like round cooking molds,
or anything that you like.
Dogs don't need a ton of carob because it's
still like a desert kind of thing, so the smaller
the treat, the better.
Definitely have a little Google online to see
how much carob your dog can eat based on their weight,
because that'll vary for each dog.
But yeah, we're using lollipop sticks because it's cute,
but again, unless you're gonna do the same thing
with your dog, as like holding it,
you don't need the popsicle stick.
So just pour the carob into the mold and then
tap the mold on your countertop a couple times
to smooth the surface and remove any bubbles
so that it's nice and smooth and solid.
And if you'd like, you can add some dried chicken.
So this is, what is it?
It's like, chicken jerky kind of thing.
This is a treat that I give them, like after they go potty,
and just like, if they deserve a cookie.
So I'll have it like, down below.
They love it so much.
This whole brand of treats is like, their favorite
and it seems like, pretty clean, which I like too.
There's not too many additives, and it's like simple
ingredients, so I like that.
Then pop it into the fridge for about half an hour.
Carob sets pretty quickly, which is really, really nice.
Much quicker than actual chocolate, and you can store it
at room temperature, which I love.
If you are familiar with melting chocolate,
sometimes you need to temper chocolate to keep it
set at room temperature, but carob isn't like that,
so these can be stored at room temperature if you'd like.
And then just give them to your puppies, and you are done!
So thank you guys so much for watching.
I hope that you like this recipe.
If you have any requests for other kind of dog treats
that you would like to see, let me know
and I will make some.
Do you want some for like, Saint Patrick's Day or anything?
Let me know.
Both the dogs are on Instagram if you wanna follow them.
They are @paddington_pom and @treacle_pom,
which is on the screen here for you.
Treacle's like, give me back my lollipop.
But yeah, thank you guys so much for watching
and I'll see you guys on Sunday for a new video. Bye!
Can you say goodbye?
No, no.
All I can say is, give me the cookie, Mommy.
I like the cookie.
