Reincarnate said:

chex is a kind of cold cereal, and when you make this recipe, it ends up looking like dry dog food.

SpisaRibb said:

I think it matters if it's organic If you find all the ingredients will you let us know?

i can easily - happily - PREFERABLY - go through a whole batch of that stuff by my lonesome.

Anx said:

Awwwww...

I know fattie...it makes me sad when he gets sad... and then I give a little giggle...

What would happen if you made it with chunky peanut butter?

that stuff hurts my belly. it tastes amazingly good but it hurts so bad.

Anx said:

its crunchy chocolatey peanut buttery and has cool sensation to it cause of the powdered sugar

applekisses said:

applekisses said:

applekisses said:

god.

Reincarnate said:

puppy chow is a real name for real dog food. this stuff looks like dog food so it's called puppy chow too.


plus you can freak out anyone who doesn't know what it is and tell them you're eating puppy chow.

Anx said:

Can you make it with that all-natural peanut butter? That's the only kind I use....also, what sorts of chex do you use?

applekisses said:

fattie's having a meltdown now.

Anx said:

A good meltdown or a bad one?

applekisses said:

fattie's tongue is stuck in a jar of goober grape right now, so it's gonna be a minute before we get an answer on that.

Anx said:

When he's finished will you ask him?

My favorite holiday treat!

this stuff is sooooo good! There's definitely a reason why I only eat it every 3 years or so. It's diabetes and heart disease in a bowl!
