Pet Treats from Brewer's Grain

I've been a homebrewer for many years, and hate throwing away the used grains.  Without ideas or inspiration, up to 20 lbs of grain goes in the trash brew after brew.  Recently I found a recipe that uses the spent grains, peanut butter and other ingredients to make dog treats!  While I don't have dogs, I do have two bunnies who love new snacks!
Used grains from brewing stout
The bunnies (and friend's dogs) devoured the treats, so I'd say they are a success!  This lead to the creation of Barley Bites; reusing brewing "waste" to bake delicious, fresh, all natural pet treats.
