DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PUPPY CHOW IS HERE! Yes, the name is a mouthful but it is SO YURM. Puppy Chow has always been one of my fav sweet treats but I wanted to experiment with new flavors! Honestly, the PB&J turned out way better than I thought but the votes are in and you all are here for this ONE! I mean I guess it is a crime to say no to chocolate!
I will say that you must watch both the chocolate and peanut butter very closely when melting to avoid over cooking! Other than that, this is a pretty typical puppy recipes with a few NEW & DELICIOUS ingredients.
I loved adding Chocolate Chex Cereal into the mix, although not necessary it definitely adds a whole new meaning to CHOCOLATE. However, if you don’t want that much chocolate you can always substitute regular chex cereal BUT if I was making the call I would always say MORE CHOCOLATE.
