We had a doggie date so I made some dog treats (and human treats but more on that later).

I made the doggie treats somewhat based on All Recipes (LOCAL). Except I didn't really follow it well. I replaced 1 cup of the flour with oatmeal and I forgot the peanut butter. It was also hard to shape it but some time in the freezer worked fine. And the dogs seemed to like it so that's good. (the humans thought it was fine...)

I also made cake balls. I followed The Kitchn (LOCAL) for making cake balls. I used the extra half of the cake from last week. I was unsure about whether I should adjust the amount of frosting since it was only half a cake. Well, the Kitchn's recipe uses 1-3/4 cups flour and the cake we made used 3 cups. I thought it would be fine, but I missed the large amount of everything else. Basically, there was way too much frosting.

It was kind of a mess, but I was able to eventually get it into balls. Because they were so soft, I froze them for a while before doing the chocolate. (real white chocolate chips and then some old-but-fine dark chocolate, both mixed with a bit of coconut oil). They again were disintegrating in the chocolate, but I eventually got them most to work. I put them back in the freezer and...

...I forgot to serve them!!!!

We ate some later. They were ok, though I thought the frosting was a bit overpowering as was the chocolate. Still, pretty good!
