Puppy Chow

Puppy chow is the perfect treat for those who love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. It is super easy to make and pure deliciousness!

I remember making this with my friends in middle school. One of my friends especially enjoyed baking and cooking and this was one of her favorites to make and eat. It’s funny how recipes you make can remind you of certain people and memories.

This is the perfect edible gift for the holidays or as a thank you for those special in your life. Get some cute metal tins or clear baggies and ribbon and you have yourself an adorable and thoughtful gift for little cost. You can easily make many batches of this in no time to make many gifts.

I added Christmas colored M&M’s to make this more festive. You can leave them out or add your favorite kind or in season M&M’s to add some color to it!
