    Puppy Chow is one of our favorite treats, because it's are so easy that the kids can make it all by themselves! Plus, it's simple to customize for various holidays and special occasions. Anything easy and festive is a win in my book. 

    Halloween Puppy Chow

    What is Halloween Puppy Chow?

    We take classic Puppy chow, which is Chex cereal covered in melted chocolate and peanut butter and then coated in powdered sugar. Then, we add three special ingredients:

    • Candy corn
    • Halloween-colored M&M's
    • Edible candy eyeballs

    These three things make it into a sweet Halloween Chex Mix.

    If you enjoy fun and easy holiday treats, we have tons of other Halloween recipes as well! Be sure to check out our Mummy Brownies, cute Spider Cookies, Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats, Halloween Dirt Cups or our Candy Corn Jello!
