Toby has been loving Beneful’s new Baked Delights, the company’s new line of dog treats that come in four varieties — Stars, Hugs, Snackers and Quacks.
We were sent the Hugs for Toby to try. They’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a beef and cheese taste.
These new snacks are oven-baked and feature a wide variety of flavors, such as beef, chicken, peanut butter and cheese. As you can see, from the photos, Toby couldn’t wait to get his paws on these.
The development of Beneful’s Baked Delights was led by Amanda Hassner, executive chef of the Purina Culinary Center, with the idea that when it comes from the oven, it comes from the heart. Chef Amanda and her team were given a challenge — reinventing Purina dog snacks by creating a new line of dog snacks that uses the best of baking from a human perspective, but with ingredients and formulas created just for pups.
They, in part, based their treats on the human trend of “small plate” food, which gives people a complexity of flavors, textures aromas and colors in one eating experience. The company also wanted to create a dog treat that captured the baked experience instead of your typical bones, chews and rawhides.
And, I have to add, Toby is picky when it comes to treats. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad, but he won’t eat just anything. Seriously. There have been more than several occasions, I’ve bought him treats and he’s turned his nose at them!
While I was writing this, the box was next to us and Toby kept a close eye on the box, so we shot a quick Tout:
Now for the fun part! Beneful was nice enough offer one of our readers the opportunity to try a box of the treats for themselves!

Those treats look very yummy! If Toby approves, I'm sure my boys would, too!
Billy is a huge fan of, Buddy Biscuit treats. I am always on the look out for others.
Toby sure does seem to love those treats! I like the saying "when it comes from the oven, it comes from the heart"! Fred and Gloria go bonkers over new treats!
I am picking over my treats as well!! I can't help it that I only like the best!!

Oh your dog is so adorable! I found your blog through the hop. Glad I did!
My dog Sebastian loves the star bones and they smell really good just like bacon and cheese.
My dog will meet me and try to stick his head in the bag, that is why I now only use the cloth, environmentally friendly bags. He is so funny.
