Puppy Chow Recipes You Need To Try Immediately

There’s nothing like a plastic bag full of puppy chow to alleviate those unavoidable 3 p.m. hunger pangs. That sugary deliciousness is exactly the type of pick-me-up I look for when I need something sweet, especially if I'm at work. The peanut butter and chocolaty goodness has always been my go-to dessert flavors and puppy chow has it all. But, if you’re not into chocolate and peanut butter, there’s actually so many other puppy chow recipes to try.

I listed 19 different recipes below for your next puppy chow adventure. Sure, you could make the original, but there’s also other great flavors including red velvet, mint, chai, cinnamon, cookies & cream, carrot cake, s’mores, and even mocha cappuccino. There’s even a pink lemonade flavor that is so intriguing, I think I might attempt making it this weekend. Every puppy chow recipe has the similar basics — Chex cereal and powdered sugar are the two most common ingredients in all of these recipes. So, if you're looking to make some puppy chow of your own, make sure you stock up on a bunch of cereal and sugar before getting started.

So whether you need a delicious snack during work, or a new recipe to try for your college bake sale, these puppy chow recipes will have people screaming for more. Literally, screaming, because they are just so good.
