Carob and Peanut Butter Pinwheels1/2 Cup Peanut Butter Instructions: Whisk together warm water and peanut butter in large mixing bowl; Add egg, honey, and oil and beat with electric mixer until smooth. Measure out 1/2 cup of peanut butter mixture and set aside. To remaining mixture slowly add 3/4 cups flour - 1/4 cup at a time - until a stiff dough forms. Set aside. To reserved peanut butter mixture beat in the carob powder. Slowly mix in remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time until a stiff dough forms. Roll carob mixture out to form a rectangle shape about 3/8 inch thick. Set aside. Roll peanut butter mixture out to form a matching rectangle shape about 3/8 inch thick. Place rolled out carob mixture on top of the peanut butter dough. Trim edges. From long side of rectangle roll up dough. Slice dough into 3/8 thick slices. Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Tip: After shutting off the oven I leave the dog biscuits in the oven for a couple hours to make sure they are completely dry and crunchy. 
Variation: Turn these peanut butter dog treats into a special Christmas dog treat by using the contrasting doughs to form festive Candy Cane Treats. Starting with a ball of dough about the size of a walnut, roll out with hands to form a "rope" about 1/2 inch thick. Do the same with the contrasting dough. Twist the two together, pinching ends together, and form into the shape of candy cane.Bake as directed above.Return from these
