No-Bake Rice Krispie Treats for Dogs: A Light & Crunchy Snack

Ingredients:

• 2 cups puffed brown rice cereal (unsweetened and no added salt or sugar)
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free!)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Optional Boost:

• 1/4 teaspoon dog-safe multivitamin powder – for a little added nutrition

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the peanut butter, applesauce, and coconut oil together until smooth.
2. Remove from heat and stir in the multivitamin powder (if using).
3. Place puffed rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm mixture over the cereal.
4. Gently mix until the cereal is evenly coated.
5. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined pan and flatten evenly.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours until fully set.
7. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve!

Storage:

• Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• For longer storage, freeze up to 2 months.

Why Dogs Love Them (and You Will Too):

• Crunchy texture makes for a satisfying snack.
• Peanut butter adds protein and flavor that dogs crave.
• Applesauce gives a touch of natural sweetness and moisture.
• A no-bake recipe makes it fast and convenient—perfect for warm days!

Each square contains roughly 25–30 calories, depending on size and peanut butter used.
