      Love this, but just be careful using m&ms in there as chocolate can be toxic for dogs. We actually make this every year but use sprinkles / 100s and 1000s in them. Looks really pretty especially with Christmas colours.

        Yes absolutely! We only sprinkle this in a section of our yard where our beautiful old golden retriever can't get to! Sprinkles are a great idea!
