Puppy Chow is one of my kids’ favorite treats. In fact, I’m known as the PuppyChow Mom in my son’s middle school because I make it for all their parties and get togethers. They love it!
But, oh my, I’ve never added the chocolate bar with toffee. I think I’ll make this but won’t tell the kids. I believe I could hide it somewhere and it will be my treat.
Thanks for sharing.
