Hot Chocolate for Dogs
Hot chocolate for dogs made with carob chips and oat milk! A great way to celebrate National Hot Chocolate Day (January 31st!)
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat milk *
- 3 tbsp carob chips (we used Missy J's Carob Chips)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, optional
Instructions
To make:
- Put milk into saucepan.
- Warm to just under boiling.
- Add the carob chips (and optional honey or maple syrup).
- Stir until the carob chips are melted.
- Remove from heat and cool to room temp.
- Serve in a dog friendly mug or bowl.
Get fancy!
- Froth in a blender and sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon. You can add a dollop of whipped cream, dust with carob powder or 1 or 2 small marshmallows (more than that will lead to an upset tummy!).
Notes
No carob chips on hand? Sub the carob chips for 2 tbsp of carob powder and mix into warmed milk.
Most dogs can't process lactose in milk very well. And with this recipe being very milk focused, it may be best to use a non dairy option instead. Oat milk and coconut milk are great options!
For our version we did a bigger version (as the mug is a soup cup haha!). Milk we did 2 cups, 3 tbl of carob chips & 1 tbl of honey. Add or subtract milk or carob chips as you need for more or less amount to ratio of flavor.
