Coffee and Kickoffs: Puppy Chow
Puppy Chow, Muddy Buddies, Chocolate Chex - whatever you might call it, it's delicious. It's hard to go wrong with chocolate, butter, peanut butter and sugar. While there are numerous variations on this sweet treat, the classic combo is definitely our favorite. We took this recipe to the next level by incorporating strongly brewed Angel's Share coffee. This adds a layer of depth that pairs nicely with the chocolate and peanut butter combo. Based on how quickly this disappeared on tasting day, we recommend making a double batch!
