Broth and Gelatin Mix

• 3/4 cup unsalted chicken bone broth or stock (ensure no onions or garlic)
• 1 packet (2 ½ tsp) unflavored gelatin powder

Fillings

• 1/4 cup finely diced chicken
• 1/4 cup finely diced carrots

Optional Additions

• 1 drop per jello shot calming CBD oil for dogs

Instructions

1. Heat Chicken Broth: In a small saucepan, gently heat ½ cup of the chicken broth until it starts simmering, ensuring it does not reach a full boil to preserve nutrients.
2. Prepare Gelatin: While the broth heats, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the remaining ¼ cup of cold chicken broth in a medium bowl and let it sit for about 2 minutes to bloom, allowing the gelatin granules to absorb the liquid.
3. Dissolve Gelatin: Pour the hot simmering broth into the bowl with the bloomed gelatin while continuously stirring or whisking to fully dissolve all granules, ensuring a smooth mixture without clumps.
4. Add Ingredients: Stir in the finely diced chicken (and carrots if preferred) into the gelatin mixture, incorporating evenly for the treats.
5. Prepare Molds: Place silicone or plastic molds on a flat, sturdy surface like a cookie sheet to make moving them to the fridge convenient and spill-free.
6. Fill Molds: Pour or spoon the gelatin mixture into each mold cavity, filling to the top edge for nicely shaped jello shots.
7. Add CBD Oil (Optional): If desired, add one drop of calming CBD oil to each treat to promote relaxation in your dog.
8. Chill to Set: Transfer the molds to the refrigerator and chill for about 1 ½ to 3 hours, depending on mold size, until the jelly is firm and set.
9. Check Set: Test one jello shot by touching it gently; if your finger sticks, allow more chilling time for complete setting.
10. Remove Treats: Carefully pop each jello shot out of the molds by pressing on the back of the mold cavities to release the treats without breaking.
11. Storage: Store the chicken jello treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness and safety.

• Use silicone molds for easier removal of gelatin treats.
• If your dog has dietary restrictions, consult your vet before introducing new treats.
• Keep treats refrigerated and discard after 3-4 days to ensure quality and safety.
