I’m tempted by these myself. Our dogs have never been fans of bananas so I’m not sure if they’ll go for these, but it’s worth a shot.

My dogs would LOVE this – I have to whip out the electric mixer that has not seen the light of day in years
Thanks for the inspiration.

My pleasure. I had to stop and think – do I have an electric mixer? – I feel that we do, but I’m not sure
