This holiday season, Milk-Bone dropped an entire collection of festively themed treats, including Milk-Bone Frosted Paws with fun shapes and flavors inspired by seasonal sugar cookies. The special Dipped Frosted Paws, available in Vanilla and Vanilla Sugar Cookie varieties, have a vanilla yogurt-flavored coating on one side.
