Puppy Chow

I’ve been trying to find new and different snack ideas for the kids, almost always their snacks are healthy, but sometimes it’s OK to have something a little naughty.  Puppy Chow, it’s such a funny name and when I told my friends about this recipe they had the funniest looks on their faces, but once they tried it they could understand my hype. Puppy chow is a chocolate based snack loved by many over in America and it’s a winner in our family too! As I mentioned above this is a sometimes food and the recipe below makes up a big batch which is great to share at a party or picnic.
