Christmas Puppy Chow!
A childhood classic! This Christmas Puppy Chow is something we made alllll the time growing up! I remember having to use ALDI paper bags instead of ziploc bags to shake it up because we would make so much at one time haha. But it is so delicious- you have to make a big batch or it’s gone almost instantly! The full recipe is at the bottom of this post + healthy swaps towards the end. Enjoy this festive and simple recipe!
What You Need For This Recipe:
Chex Cereal (I used cinnamon chex and it was sooo good!)
Peanut Butter
Chocolate Chips
Chocolate Protein Powder
M&Ms or other candy of choice
Healthier Swaps:
For the M&Ms- I like these Unreal Chocolates
And you can always use less powdered sugar! It’s just sprinkled on top so you can even leave it out completely if you just want some peanut butter- chocolate goodness. Probably one of my favorite combos ever!
To make the recipe vegan, use vegan chocolate chips and vegan chocolate protein powder!
Hope you enjoy this Christmas Puppy Chow!
