Puppy Chow
Puppy Chow has always been a family favorite of ours. It’s a dangerous snack because it’s incredibly easy to make yet even easier to eat. I would consider it the perfect treat for stress eating during the quarantine.
The item that sets out puppy chow apart from all others is a brown bag. Yes, you read that correctly. We use brown bags from the grocery store to mix all our ingredients together, which provides an easy clean up. Have you noticed we love taking the easy way out? Using brown bags for mixing the ingredients not only provides a hassle free clean up but also a different form of fun for kids, or adults for that matter, in the kitchen. Plus, shaking it together in the brown bags provides for more clumpy, chocolatey bites - if ya know, ya know!
