Bark City Doggy Daycare

 Bark City has been planning and plotting some super secret ways to make our facility an exciting experience for both you and your dog. We will be announcing different additions throughout the next year (We like to keep our customers on edge and guessing with anticipation!) Our first announcement happened this Howl-ween: Yep, that's right. We will be opening a candy store for your canine family members. We figured there is enough candy around for humans, but our little pups get left in the dust. We want to change the phrase, "Like a kid in a candy store." to "Like a puppy in a candy store."

Today, I used one plantain and one banana) Throw all of the ingredients into a food processor and puree. Then fry the batter by dropping spoonfuls of the batter into heated vegetable oil (or any oil of your choice). To flip them, I use a fork as a spatula.  Once done, I take them out of the oil with a pair of tongs and place them on a paper towel to absorb some of the extra oil.  This is my dog version with no extra thrills.
