Raptor Recipes - Zoe's Owl Pellet Treats

  • 1 can reduced cream
  • 1 Tbsp of cocoa
  • Desiccated coconut
  • At least 8-10 biscuits (malt or milk arrowroot work well)
  1. Crush the biscuits in a bag with rolling pin until they are small crumbs.
  2. Add cocoa and cream, mixing together until balls can be formed, making sure the mixture does not get too wet.

Serving suggestion: Put the ‘pellets’ on a plate of crumbled ‘Cadbury flakes’ to make them look like they are amongst twigs and debris on the ground, as they would in the wild.
