I’m desperately trying to find your butterscotch peanut butter puppy chow, but I can’t find it on your site anywhere! Does it still exist?
Hi Jodi! We were no longer satisfied with the outcome of that older recipe, so we unpublished it. We still have it, so send us an email and we can forward it to you. sally@sallysbakingaddiction.com
This puppy chow is a Christmas staple in our family. We make it multiple times (because we eat it so quickly) and we take it with us while driving around looking at Christmas lights. My daughter is a huge fan and has been since she was five years old. If you like Nutella then this quick and easy recipe is for you!
This stuff is so good and very easy. Brought it on a roadtrip and it was gone before we got there!!!
Can you make this with out the peanuts?
Absolutely!
We’ve made this Puppy Chow a number of times and it never fails to delight!!
Thanks Sally!!
Hi Sally, I was wondering if you could substitute Chocolate Chex for Plain, because apparently my supermarket doesnt sell it. Hope you can help!
Hi there Ivvana! Yes, chocolate chex will be just fine. And maybe even better. Enjoy!
I made this yesterday for our monthly couple’s game night. Everyone raved & inhaled it! I had saved a little at home and my husband ate it for breakfast with milk just like cereal.
Thanks for another winner, Sally!
I made this last night for the Super Bowl party I hosted and it was a HUGE hit! Thanks for sharing! ๐
OMG!! I just made a batch of this for a potluck tomorrow and I don’t want to part with it. I am also making the S’Mores Puppy Chow and I’m sure it will be just as delicious! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. ๐
