I found this recipe on Pinterest. When I saw it I knew I had to try it…. and not just because the person who created it said that I would say “I’ll have what she’s having!” I mean, how can you go wrong?
“I’ll have what she’s having!”
I will be honest, I had intentions of sharing this batch, but once the kids showed up .. *POOF* it was gone. Guess I will have to make another? It does make fantastic gifts for Valentine’s Day, Packaged up in cute bags or jars.
As do these two mixes!
PUPPY {LOVE} CHOW A Valentine twist on the classic Puppy Chow. This Puppy {love} Chow has both white and milk chocolate, raspberry flavoring, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
