How to Do Lollipop Dog Bone Party Favors

Make special treats for your dog's birthday.

Party favors are fun and a creative way to make any party or event memorable. Party favor bags may contain an assortment of items -- from gift cards to candy. Special occasions may even call for theme-specific favor items. If you are a dog lover, for example, and are hosting a birthday party for a dog, making lollipop dog bone party favors perfectly fits the theme. Ask an adult for assistance or have a child help you mix the ingredients and craft these treats into lollipop shapes in no time.

Things You'll Need

• Oven
• Flour
• Oats
• Baking powder
• Mixing bowl
• Milk
• Peanut butter
• Molasses
• Parchment paper
• Spatula
• Roller
• Dog bone cookie cutter
• Cookie sheet
• Lollipop sticks

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Combine 1 ½ cups of flour, 1/4 cup of oats and 1 teaspoon of baking powder into a bowl.

3. Pour in 3/4 cup of milk, 1 cup of peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of molasses. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are completely blended.

4. Evenly pour the mix onto parchment paper. Layer a second sheet of parchment paper on top of the mix. Parchment paper eliminates the need for extra flour while rolling.

5. Work a roller back and forth over the mix until it is evenly flat and 1/2-inch thick.

6. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Press a dog bone-shaped cookie cutter down into the mix. Make as many dog bone shapes as possible.

7. Place shapes onto a cookie sheet and cook for 20 minutes.

8. Lightly press a lollipop stick into each shape once you pull the sheet from the oven.

9. Turn the oven off and let the dog bone lollipops cool in the oven for one full night.

10. Place the dog bone lollipops inside party favor bags together with the other items, or hand individual dog bone lollipops to your guests.
