Bil-Jac Special Edition Dessert Jacs Pumpkin Flavored Dog Treats

It is a howling good time in our home this Howloween! My dogs are loving a super special treat. The Special Edition Bil-Jac Pumpkin Flavored Treats are quickly being gobbled up.

The size is a small fun pie shape. These actually smell pretty good! My two dogs are pretty picky when it comes to treats and foods, but there was no hesitation with these. They are made with real chicken ingredients with natural pumpkin flavor! There is no fillers or soy added. No added rendered fat either.

The treats are not grain free as is so popular for dog foods these days. They do contain wheat flour. If this is not a concern for your dogs, then watch them gobble up these treats! My dogs are quite fond of them. Even my pickiest of eaters was happily enjoying a Pumpkin flavored Dessert Jacs treat! The pieces are small with a lot in the package. These have become one of my dogs favorites!

The special edition flavor can only be found at very select stores:

Pet Supplies Plus (various location across US)
Concord Pet (Northeast)
Chuck & Don's (Upper Midwest)

Bil-Jacs also created a recipe with the treats in a Dog safe pumpkin cookie! How adorable!

Recipe

Ingredients

• 1C Pumpkin Puree (plain)
• 2 Tbsp Honey
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 Tbsp Applesauce
• 3/4 C + 2 Tbsp of Whole Wheat Flour
• Bil•Jac Dessert Jacs Dog Treats for decorating after baking

Recipe makes about 10-15 Bil•Jac Howlin’ Good Pumpkin Dessert Jacs Cookies.
Total Prep Time: 15 minutes to prepare, 1 hour or as long as overnight in refrigerator, 20 minutes to bake.
Mix all wet ingredients together (pumpkin, honey, egg, applesauce) with a mixer. Mix well.
Add flour and stir until all ingredients are fully combined. Refrigerate for one hour if you’re making them today, if not they can be refrigerated overnight and made the next day.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 1

Use a spoon to drop the cookie mixture onto a cookie tray. Cover the cookie tray with parchment paper for best results. Smooth out cookies to the desired shape with a butter knife or back of the spoon (cookies will not spread).

Step 2

Bake for 18-22 minutes. Cookies will still be soft.

Immediately after baking: Use a few Dessert Jacs to decorate your cookies.

•To finish Pumpkin or Jac-O-Lantern: Create a face on the cookie by inserting Dessert Jacs. Add one Dessert Jac on the top for a stem. Add more treats to make a face. 
•To finish Cat: Place Dessert Jacs accordingly for the eyes and nose.
•To Finish Bat: Use Dessert Jacs for ears and eyes.

Step 3

Move to rack and let cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to a week. Can be frozen for up to three months. Just thaw and serve.
•Feed one treat per day: Estimated 50-70 calories per cookie, depending on size and number of treats used.
•Since the cookie is a chewy texture, break up the cookie and give it to your dog in smaller pieces.

Happy Halloween Everyone!
