gifting treats - part 2 stretching your budget dollars

Puppy Chow is a favorite treat that seems to appear at Holiday Potluck or Christmas Parties.  It is delicious and it gives you that great taste of chocolate and peanut butter combined with yummy powder sugar.   It also looks so cute in your #DIY treat bags!

I have found a new easy way to make it!   Thanks to (ad) #GeneralMillsCereal for the invention of the new wonderful #peanutbutterchocolateblastedshreds.   It is made with whole grain!  It is consists of awesome chocolate and peanut butter in every bite!  The best part is.........I found the box of Cereal at my local #DollarTree.

I decided to try it out with making my favorite #puppychow!    It cut down my time and mess in half.  #winwin

Here is the Recipe:

Pat's Puppy Chow

1 Box of the #GeneralMillsCereal Peanut Butter Chocolate Blasted Shreds  - (I used 2 cups)
1/2 cup (or jar) of the Dark Chocolate Sauce from Fresh Market (You can use 1 bag of Dark Choc Chips) 
1 cup Powder Sugar

To Make:

Pour 2 cups of the Peanut Butter Chocolate Blasted Shreds in large mixing bowl
Put the jar of sauce in microwave for 20 seconds - this melts it and makes it warm or melt your Dark Chocolate Chips in Microwave for about 1 minute and stir until melted
Pour Chocolate Sauce over the Dry Cereal and Stir well
Top with 1 Cup Powder Sugar and Stir together

Let sit for about 15 minutes and you are ready to serve or bag up in your Treat Bags, add your gift tags with your ribbon and you have an awesome happy gift for a friend!  

Enjoy!  
Have a Merry Merry Christmas!
