I’m officially obsessed with Game of Thrones. I’m definitely not getting out enough. This puppy has taken over my life. So I’ve made my life about getting him potty trained and watching men fight ’til the death. The potty training isn’t going as well as Thrones binging. But I have to remember he’s only 9 weeks old and we’ve only had him for a little over a week. But it’s frustrating when he holds it for 7 hours at night then during the day, he does what he wants when it comes to urination. Not poo, just urination. He’ll go to the bathroom twice outside, then as soon as he comes inside, he goes again. Right on the carpet.
So I understand the small bladder thing, but if he can hold it for 7 hours, there’s absolutely no reason for him to let it go 5 minutes after already going. He even hopped up on the couch and pissed on a pillow right next to me. Straight up. Do you think it’s some sort of dominance thing? Or hatred for me thing? I don’t know. I don’t get it. I feel like how my parents probably felt when I was a teenager. Just at a loss for what to do. I even cried the other night out of frustration. I keep trying to listen to all the advice and be a good mom, but it feels like it’s not working. We take him out all the time, we reward him with a treat and say “good boy, potty outside” every time he does it outside. He even looks to us for a treat when he goes outside, so he knows he’s doing something right. But it doesn’t seem to be enough. Today I’m going to go get a bell for us to use every time we go out so he knows to ring it. I’m hoping that’s the miracle to all of our potty training issues.
It was funny the other day when someone said that babies come after dogs. I feel the complete opposite now. If I had questioned having a child before, there’s no way now. If I’m stressed out by a dog that pees about a tablespoon full of liquid, how could I ever handle a child? Impossible. I don’t understand how parents do it. I think I’ll just stick to trying to master raising a puppy and understanding what they are saying on Game of Thrones.
So back to that show. I’m obsessed with it, but I’m not 100% sure that I love it. It’s pretty effed up. I mean, when you kill animals and children in a show, it’s pretty bad. Adults, whatever. It happens in pretty much every show. But horses. Don’t ever kill a horse. I have to cover my eyes every time something frightening like that happens. I’m not really into death. But I’m super into the dragon girl. I can’t wait until her dragon messes some bad people up. I’m jealous of her dragons. I bet they were easily potty trained.

Hello, I just made these tonight. First, I used silicone mini muffin pans and I got over 3 dozen treats. Second, I left them in the freezer for over an hour and they still stuck to the silicone! I used coconut oil brushed on the silicone for the 3rd batch and haven’t tried them yet to see if they will stick. What did I do wrong???
they totally shouldn’t stick to the silicone cups, so I have no clue.
So good! I could not find unsweetened coconut flakes so i left them out. The almond butter ended up being pretty soft after 30 seconds out of the freezer and the chocolate just slides off leaving the almond butter in the tray 🙁 Are the coconut flakes what keeps it together?
My friend’s fully grown and potty trained Frechie took a huge dump in her lap while she watched our “Senior Memories” video years ago, so maybe Frenchies just have a special sense of humor.
Just made those. They do not look half as beautiful as yours, I had to substitute cashew creme (because I wanted them NOW!), and parts of those little cups would stick in the form (should have waited some more) and some broke into pieces. Ate all those leftovers. All at once. Delicious. Feeling very happy (and maybe just a little bit sick)
I am not entirely sure how I could “mess” up such an easy recipe but mine did not layer like the picture shows. I poured the chocolate onto the almond butter and it just sank in the middle. Was I supposed to let the almond butter mixture harden a bit before pouring chocolate? Thanks for the help!!
Me too! I was just about to write in here about this recipe…I’ve made it 4-5 times now and the chocolate sinks in the middle in an ugly glob. Any suggestions?
PS my family and boyfriend are obsessed with these. I love the easy clean-up.
if that’s happening, freeze the almond butter mixture first, then pour the chocolate on top second and freeze again
I made these in the mini muffin tin and the almond part stuck to the tin and became soft and gooey very quickly. Regardless they are awesome! Wondering if in the larger tins the mixture would set better?
mine didn’t stuck at all to my mini tin pan. you could try using a silicone pan instead!
I would like to make these, but I don’t have mini muffin tins. Would it work ok in regular muffin tins or should I try ice cube trays?
Yep!!!
These are fabulous!! Thank you for a great tasting and easy sweet treat we can keep on hand at all times!
WHY aren’t these in my mouth already?
These are DELICIOUS!!! So hard to stop at two. My husband keeps asking me to make them again so I am making them again today. Not because he wants me too, because I want them. These are a ‘Have to make’ girls and boys!!!! And very easy. Thanks for the recipe!!!
