Smashing and grinding in peanut butter is a good idea.
I think it can depend on what your dog is like with food. Some eat quite fussily and others will virtually inhale food.
From when my dogs were puppies I'd give them a vitamin tablet in a piece of cheese. The pills were flavoured too - but I wanted to get used to them throwing back pills so it would be easier to get them down them later in life. I taught them to catch the food and they'd gulp it down without even chewing. Worm tablets and other varieties of pills were never a problem after that.
But that being said I've heard of some dogs that just won't do it. They spit it out and have to give it a sniff before nibbling at it.
