Hi Miss Ali, I left you two questions on your "comments" section on the blisfully domestic forum…when you get a minute can you see if you can answer them.
THESE look yummy!
That is a great one. And it takes me back…
I need to make this soon.
Oh, you are the best. My kids were just wanting me to make this stuff, but I couldn't find my recipe. Thanks.
That is a great recipe that I'd forgotten about!
Thanks for the reminder!!
Some family friends used to get dog food bags, empty them and carefully wrap the insides with saran wrap and butcher paper and give this treat out in the dog bags. So cute!!
Mmmmm, I LOVE this stuff!
OH STOP – these are the absolute death of me. My brother and I got into a yelling match this year over them…he took them all and locked himself in his room.
this is true PMS food – I could live off of these 🙂
OH, how I love this snack! And I only seem to receive it at Christmas, now I can make my own! Thank you! 🙂
My girls will love this! Thanks for the reminder…
Who doesn't love puppy chow? Takes me back to childhood every time.
Love puppy chow!
I love these!! We call them muddy buddies, not sure why. BUT, if you're really wanting them and don't have time to make them, bugles came out with a chocolate peanut butter variety and they are awesome!!! Thanks, I think I'll have to go buy some now.
Thanks for the tip Sally. I didn't know bugles made them. I'll have to try them out 🙂
Love this!!!
LOVE puppy chow! Num num num!! opps…just gained 10lbs thinking about eating it! haha. Its like pringles…once you start you just can't stop!
I love Puppy Chow! I made some last month and it was a double batch so I was asking a friend of mine if she wanted some, she asked me why I was offering her dog food! She had never heard of Puppy Chow before!! She really missed out in her childhood!
(Some people also call it Muddy Buddies, I'm not sure, but I think Puppy Chow is a Midwestern thing….)
I was JUST thinking about this the other day. How funny. I could literally eat these until I was sick. Literally.
This was my daugther's favorite treat gowing up. I think I will make a batch and send it to her.
I have honestly never had this treat, but it looks great and I will definately try it!
This is a family favorite here! My oldest son was serving a mission for our church in Argentina and we sent him the ingredients to make these as they are his favorite.
So nice to meet you!
