SIMPLE Halloween Puppy Chow

Puppy chow originated somewhere in the Midwest, so the story goes.  It is a bunch of delicious ingredients hitting all 3 of the snack requirements by law – salty, sweet and crunchy.

It begins with a combination of Chex cereal, mini peanut butter cups or Reese’s pieces, candy corn and whatever else you think fits the mental image of Halloween puppy chow.

In a bowl goes.  It is then bound together by a gooey, melted peanut butter and chocolate bond and then aggressively coated in powdered sugar.

Apparently it’s inherited the name ‘puppy chow’ due to it’s close resemblance to puppy food.  Ew!  We get it.  But this is every man, woman and childs dream snack, so did give it a go!

So how do you actually make Halloween puppy chow?

Step One – melt chocolate, peanut butter and butter together

Step Two –  Add that deliciousness to the Chex cereal and combine. Step Three – Pour the cereal into a large Ziploc bag and give it a great big shake in powdered sugar.

All that’s left to do is to add some Halloween themed items like candy corn, edible eyes and anything else theme related to create hands down one of the most addictive snacks ever!
