Puppy Chow Holiday Goodness!

Puppy Chow is one of those holiday treats that my family looks forward to making every year! It also makes for a fun activity for littles too! Here is the puppy chow recipe we make in our family. Don’t worry, it isn’t as hard as it looks!

Putting the Fun into Making Holiday Treats!

My family loves to bake and make fun treats for the holidays! We also make extras to share with neighbors and friends. However, I know for some parents, time in the kitchen with kids can be a bit stressful. So, let’s talk about that for a minute.

When cooking in the kitchen with kids, it often best to lower your expectations. Things will go wrong. You will make a mess. However, focus on the enjoyment. Messes can be cleaned later!

Also, make sure you have extra ingredients when cooking and baking with younger children. That way if you have a disaster, you always have back up ingredients.

Combine the peanut butter, butter, chocolate chips, and vanilla in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute. Stir thoroughly. Then microwave for one more minute. Stir again. Place Chex  in a large bowl. Pour mixture over the Chex and mix thoroughly. Using a large Ziplock bag or re-sealable container, add powdered sugar and then the covered Chex mixture.
