Puppy Chow is a favorite amongst many. Chex or Crispix coated in a creamy mixture of peanut butter, chocolate and vanilla and dusted with powdered sugar…how could it not be? It’s pretty simple to make (as in my kids can do it) and we all enjoy it. Growing up it was definitely one of my sisters favorite treats and we had it a lot back in our college days too.
With all these days of staying home to stay healthy and to help “flatten the curve” we have been enjoying various treats with our movies nights. Be sure to check out some other favorites linked below!
