Valentine Day Puppy Chow Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the greatest parts of puppy chow is how easy it is to mix it up and it is a no bake recipe. Every puppy chow recipe you’ll ever see uses the traditional puppy chow base recipe, of course. But after that, the sky’s the limit. I’ve made puppy chow mixes for every holiday and season. It’s so easy to do by simply changing a few ingredients or adding fun mix-ins that match the season for which you’re making it. One recipe can become dozens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Chocolate Puppy Chow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One great way to change things up is to make puppy chow with white chocolate instead of milk chocolate. You end up with a more delicate flavor that’s perfect for flavoring with peppermint for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Patrick’s Day Puppy Chow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To make St. Patrick’s Day puppy chow, take the base recipe and add green mix-ins to it. Think green M&Ms and even green gummy worms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourth of July Puppy Chow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use white chocolate puppy chow and add red, white, and blue chocolate candies to the mix. You can also add star-shaped sprinkles to finish off the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween Puppy Chow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use the base puppy chow mix for this one to keep the color on the darker side. Then, add Reese’s Pieces to get that classic orange and brown Halloween combo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Puppy Chow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use white chocolate puppy chow and add Christmas M&Ms, pretzels, and even Christmas sprinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
