Chocolate Peanut Butter Puppy Chow
Anyone in the Midwest has probably tried puppy chow at least once, and we're happy to introduce it to anyone in other parts of the country who hasn't tasted this delectable sweet. It's a chocolate peanut butter-covered pretzel and cereal topped with powdered sugar, but with this recipe, you can take it to the next level using M&M's.
All you do is melt chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla and butter together. Then, you mix the pretzels and chocolate in and sprinkle powdered sugar. Dump in a few M&M's, and you're good to go.
