Peanut butter was put on the planet so humans and dogs could share a common guilty pleasure. You’re not going to convince me otherwise. Whether it’s on a sandwich or in one of those dog toys, people and puppies are always finding excuses to enjoy that nutty spread. And creamy? It’s time to meet crunchy: rolled oats. Chilled to perfection, these quick peanut butter bites make the perfect summer treat for you and your pup. Grab one for yourself or use them as treats.
