\"Reindeer<\/a>I have come across a snack mix that is typically referred to as Puppy Chow.\u00a0 It is a snack mix that is covered with tons of powdered sugar and is typically seen during the holiday season.\u00a0 Has it made an appearance near you?<\/p>\n

I have never eaten this snack mix before.\u00a0 First of all it’s covered in powdered sugar which means it’s gonna be major sweet.\u00a0 And secondly, it’s called Puppy Chow for frack’s sake.\u00a0 I’m not eating that.\u00a0 At the risk of sounding totally snotty, I don’t even feed my dog kibble, you think I’m gonna touch something that is named after some crappy dog food?<\/p>\n

Fat chance.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what prompted me to look into this snack mix a bit further but I did and realized that it’s pretty easy to make.<\/p>\n

I decided to come up with my own recipe because most of the other recipes I saw used lots of butter or shortening.\u00a0 Even the vegan versions used vegan shortening.<\/p>\n

Totally unnecessary!\u00a0 I knew I could come up with something better AND it’s not named after a really crappy dog food, it has a festive cute name instead.\u00a0 If you don’t dig on Reindeer Crunch, feel free to call it “Stuff” or “Addicting” instead, I won’t be mad at ya.<\/p>\n
