I've had this recipe for years - the original calls for "oleo" and this year when we baked, my niece wanted to know what oleo was.  When I would fry up bacon, my first flat-coat Boomer would stand by the stove and drool (a lot!), knowing that she would get bacon and that dog biscuits were in the making!  Enjoy.  Jeanne
