Valentine’s Day Treats: Peanut Butter Pupcakes With Milk-Bone
Valentine's Day isn't just for humans. Your furry friends deserve a day of adoration and sweets just like you! To celebrate a happy hearts day this year, whip up a batch of these easy peanut butter “pup” cakes for your favorite dogs.
Celebrate your companion with a simple recipe to show your appreciation. For the dog-friendly cupcakes, I also needed peanut butter, flour, and a few other ingredients I already had in my pantry.
I used my hand mixer to mix together all the ingredients until it combined to become a fluffy peanut butter and honey mixture. I added about two heaping tablespoons into a lined muffin tin and let it bake for about fifteen minutes.
I used leftover cupcake mix to frost since it was a nice fluffy peanut butter mixture.
Top each with Milk-Bone bones (or more than one!) and get ready to treat your dog to the sweetest Valentine's Day dessert you've ever given them.

After always telling my dogs to stay away from my own cupcakes, I think they were a little confused that these were up for grabs. My little man, Kamikaze, weighs about fifty pounds. He certainly did not hesitate with that peanut butter frosting!
