Puppy chow is one of my son Mason’s favorite recipes. We make this mainly during the holidays. This is a family favorite recipe that we have been making for years. If you are plating it with other goodies the white powdered sugar looks so pretty against other chocolate candy or cookies. It is as pretty to look at as it is good to eat! 🙂

If you like chocolate and peanut butter together, then you will love puppy chow. It brings both of these awesome flavors together into one delicious sweet treat.

Another great thing about puppy chow is that it is quick and easy to make. This is perfect when your kids tell you they need something to take to school tomorrow or your husband says they are having a carry-in at work the next day. These ingredients are perfect to always have on hand for these little food emergencies! 🙂
