Puppy chow 🍫🐾

"Walking in a winter wonderland...." ❄️ Aww, my favorite time of year has arrived: the holidays! December is special for my family and me, as it's our birthday month. We lucked out and celebrate not 1 or 2 but 5 birthdays in 4 weeks! Despite not celebrating Christmas, it's still the best time of year cause there are endless treats to create. This is no exception, and I have been patiently waiting for winter to creep up so I can finally dive and make puppy chow!

Puppy chow is the best snack to make! With so many options for mix-ins, from sweet to savory, it's the perfect snack to munch or the perfect little snack to gift. Make this for your next holiday party, serve this as a snack or appetizer, or even better, make the batch and save it for yourself. Quick disclaimer, this is VERY sweet so eat sparingly!
