- Heat your oven to 325 degrees F and line two muffin pans with cupcake liners.
- Mix crust as directed above, and then spoon about a tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Use a spoon or cup to tamp the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner.
- Place muffin pans in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Mix the filling as directed above. Then, pour a few tablespoons of the filling onto the top of each graham cracker crust. (Pro tip: tap the muffin pans on the counter to release any excess air bubbles! Pop any air bubbles that are on the surface before cooking).
- Bake for 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes before taking them out of the pan and placing them on a wire rack to cool.
- Once they’re reached room temperature, place them in the fridge for at least 2-4 hours before serving. Top with a peanut butter or coconut oil drizzle before giving it to your pup for an extra dose of flavor!
