Colours and tints
(See our post on using natural food colourings for dog treats for ideas on colours and ingredients).
White Surround:
3/4 cup cool water (or alternative dog-friendly liquid)
3 tbsp quality powdered gelatin
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
Preparing the glass pieces:
While you are waiting for your white surround to cool, prepare the coloured glass pieces by cutting up your set coloured gelatin into pieces. Smallish pieces will allow a larger variety and distribution of colour, but don’t go too tiny. Cutting through the pieces is what gives these treats their looks.
Place in a suitable container and make sure the different colours are mixed about. Since the stained glass effect looks niftiest along cuts, I’m using a small deep container. My finished gummies will be sliced half as thick as that depth, so there will be more visible cut glass in the finished treats.
Finishing the treats:
Pour the white gelatin surround mixture into the container over the cut coloured glass pieces.
Gently tap or swirl if/as needed to make sure that there are no air pockets trapped between the coloured pieces and that the coloured pieces are all covered into the white surround. R
Refrigerate to set thoroughly before slicing into bite-sized treats. Refrigerate the cut treats for storage, and give to your pup to enjoy in moderation.
Always consult your vet before feeding your dog any treats.
