Homemade Peanut Rat Treats!

Okay, I know neither me, nor Marin have done a post in a while, and we're sorry. Schoolwork and other things are taking up a lot of time and we have less time to write.


Mini Peanut butter treats!

Materials:
Peanut Butter
Almond Milk (unsweetened) 
Piping Bag
Star tip (optional)
Ground up almond (optional)
Freezer
Wax Paper

Directions:

In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, and almond milk. I did not give a specific amount, because it really varies on how much you need to make and your preferred consistency. When you have added the proper amount of almond milk, the peanut butter should be the texture of thick pudding. If you would like, you could add some crushed up almond into the bowl, your rats will love you either way.
        After you have thoroughly mixed the ingredients, scoop the peanut butter\ almond milk into a pastry bag. If you are like me, and you need everything to look cute, use a pretty star tip with the pastry bag. Lay out a sheet of wax paper and using the piping bag, make little drops of the mixture about a quarter of an inch apart. Note that the treats should not be made too big, because rats can only have so much peanut butter.
 After you are done, put the wax paper in the freezer and let the treats freeze overnight. When the treats are frozen, serve one or two to your rats. Make sure to leave the treats in the freezer if not being consumed by your rat. Do not give the rats a treat if it is slightly melty, only serve if frozen.
I hope you (and your rats) enjoy this recipe!
