Valentine’s Day Puppy Chow Recipe

I really want to know when a recipe of mine doesn’t turn out for someone. I want to know if I have made a mistake in the recipe! I truly appreciate when I am told, because making a typo in the recipe is really easy to do. If one person had trouble with it, it’s possible that more will and I want to prevent that.

Sometimes it has proven to be my mistake and other times it’s what I call ‘user error.’ Either way, it helps both of us!

I also want to know when people catch other typos, whether here on the blog or on my social media accounts. My Aunt Laurina is like an honorary member of the team – she catches all sorts of typos for me and will text them to me so I can fix them! I can’t tell you how much I love and appreciate her for that!

I am sending her a batch of this Valentine Puppy Chow as a thank you for helping me! If you are wanting to spread the love this Valentine’s Day, you could also make Cupid’s Crunch Chex Mix or Valentine Peanut Butter Cookie Cups!

• 6 cups Chex Cereal
• 3/4 cup Strawberry Cake Mix
• 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 cup Red Candy Melts
• 1 cup White Candy Melts
• 1 cup Valentine M&M’s

How to Make Valentine Puppy Chow

• In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup strawberry cake mix (dry powder, not prepared batter) and 3/4 cup powdered sugar.
