This is one recipe that I HAVE to make every year. My kids love it..oh..I do too! This also makes a great idea for gifts. Fill up some pretty jars with Puppy Chow and decorate with a ribbon and gift tag for a fun gift. You can also fill little cookie tins to give as gifts. OR…you can just eat it :)!! Enjoy!

What is round roasted oat cereal?
Round roasted oat cereal is just the generic name for Cherrios. So use Cheerios or any generic brand! You can also use rice chex!
