Baco Cheese Twisters
Bakery Dog Treat Recipe

Baco Cheese Twisters gormet home made dog treats remind me of the penny pretzels that my brother and I used to buy at the candy store when we went to visit my grandparents in South Dakota when we were growing up.

Some are long gone—I haven't seen those awful wax things that you tore off the end and then squeezed the sugar water into your mouth from--for years (a good thing).

The owner of that candy store knew our names and he also knew who we were visiting (It was always in the newspaper!).

The stick pretzels were actually a penny each. And they must have been a foot long—maybe just a tad shorter. But they certainly were good!

These bakery dog treats have the same appeal. They don't taste like a pretzel though. These gourmet dog treats have a lovely cheese smell and taste.

Remember—your dog has a stronger sense of smell than taste. You will notice that he will smell everything first—even before he gobbles it down.

Anyway, these dog bakery treats should be a hit with your dog and his friends.

If you make your bakery dog treat recipe with real bacon bits, make sure that you refrigerate them or freeze them. If you use the soy bacon bits, you can keep them at room temperature as long as you dry them properly.

Tumeric gives the twisters their lovely yellow color.
