Halloween Puppy Chow Mix

You will go nutty for our Halloween puppy chow mix!

I get so excited as soon as the cool breezes comes around and I can smell Fall in the air! That means it is time to put up my Halloween decorations and start my Halloween treat making!

Every year I like to come up with at least one new Halloween dessert and this year it is a twist on a classic, Puppy Chow Snack Mix – also sometimes called Muddy Buddies.

We love the sweet and salty flavors in puppy chow, but this puppy chow recipe is different because it is loaded with Halloween candy (among lot’s of other good stuff!)
