Puppy Chow for our HUMAN kids!


 Looking for a way to share some puppy love with your human loved ones? While looking for fun holiday treats to make, we came across this recipe for Puppy Chow (the human kind :)) that was posted over at Moms Who Think. We can't wait to make some and thought you might like the recipe too! Enjoy!


This is the original puppy chow recipe that kids love. It's a tasty sweet snack that's super easy to make. Peanut butter and chocolate are a great combination, and the addition of crispy cereal makes this the perfect blend of flavors and textures. This is a great snack for after school, movie nights, or any time you want to make a special treat that takes almost no time to make.


It may look like real puppy chow, but this puppy chow recipe is guaranteed to taste a whole lot better! Remember, this is a humans only recipe because it contains chocolate. Never give any of this puppy chow to your puppy or dog, as chocolate can make them very sick.  A good alternative to puppy chow is the old favorite chex mix recipe that is just as easy, but gives you a salty instead of a sweet treat.
