Puppy Chow
Puppy Chow is my absolute favorite holiday sweet treat! The crunchy, chocolate, peanut buttery goodness I crave! Have you ever had it? It’s the perfect party snack. I like to upgrade the ingredients to make it as “healthy” as possible! 😉
Puppy Chow Recipe Notes:
- The darker the chocolate you use, the less sugar it will have. I like these.
- Be sure to use natural peanut butter. ingredients should only contain peanuts and maybe some salt.
- This freezes great so keep it in the freezer and pull out when desired.
- Look for an organic powdered sugar that uses tapioca starch instead of cornstarch and is made with real cane sugar.
- This recipe is gluten free. To make it dairy free, use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Choose organic when possible.
