  1. Heat your oven to 325 degrees F and line two muffin pans with cupcake liners.
  2. 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.
  3. Place muffin pans in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
