Cupid Chow – Valentine Puppy Chow Recipe

Valentine’s Day Treats

I am all about easy treats and Puppy Chow is one of those treats. Not only is it one of my very favorite treats to enjoy but this recipe can be done in just a few minutes and can be switched up to match any special occasion or holiday by simply adding some seasonal candy or sprinkles. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I thought it would be fun to share a Valentine’s Day inspired Puppy Chow recipe. I am lucky enough to spend Valentine’s Day with my two favorite Valentines, Jude and Teagan, up in Estes Park at the YMCA. I will be bringing this yummy treat with us as we cozy up in the beautiful snow covered mountains for the weekend!
