1/2 cup plus 2-tablespoons pumpkin puree (fresh from a large pumpkin or canned).

Unfortunately, I have not taken the time to measure the weight of each batch to give you an idea of the amount, but what I can tell you is that the smaller batch makes about 30-small bone-shaped treats (2-inches long) or 15-medium bone shaped treats (almost 3-inches long). I have included the recipe for two different size batches of treats in the course of the next three steps and in Step 6.

There are many great dog treat recipes here on Instructables, and I found some useful information in How to Make Healthy Homemade Apple Cinnamon Dog Treats by aelbert, that specifically talks about different ingredients in dog treats, including cinnamon and eggs if that is something you may be concerned with in this recipe. Read on to make your own pumpkin puree and peanut butter dog treats. To me they are a labor of love as they can be time consuming, but now that my children are older, they can help and we can make them together for our remaining furry friend in our family. I have enjoyed making homemade dog treats for many years now - I give them away to friends and family for their furry family members Christmas gifts - and have made them for our own pups throughout the years, when I have had time. We carved our pumpkins a few days before Halloween, so I kept the pumpkin guts in a plastic container overnight to make treats the next day. I wasn't sure if pumpkin was okay for my dog to eat so I jumped on the net and at least my nerves were calmed by finding out that you can use pureed pumpkin in making dog treats.

My 14-year old mini poodle mix (that's human years) began munching on dropped pumpkin bits that were being 'accidentally' flung on the ground by my kiddos. So this past Halloween, I separated the pumpkin guts from the pumpkin seeds (like so many other people) to roast the seeds as I have done in years past.
