Puppy Chow

When I was younger, my Mom always made puppy chow every Christmas and put it in cute containers for me to give to my teachers at school. We always made more than enough and kept some for us to snack on too. It always seemed like such a special treat because we only ever had it at Christmas. Once my friends & I started our traditional gift exchange, I always made it for that and now that I'm working, I also like to bring it in for my coworkers.

Similar to the Buckeye Bars I made last month, puppy chow is just a mixture of chocolate, peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar. I made some the other day for my coworkers & will make another batch this weekend for the 12th annual gift exchange. I think the fact that all 5 of my coworkers ate their puppy chow in less than a day is proof that it's delicious.
