Think you know puppy chow? Think again, this Peanut Butter Pretzel Puppy Chow recipe is going to up your puppy chow game forever. #GameChanger!

We’ve been making puppy chow for a LONG time.

My children made it in pre-school when food was allowed in school that long ago.

We’ve been seeing some new versions on Pinterest but none that made me change my ways until this Peanut Butter Pretzel Puppy Chow recipe!

We love finger food snacks like this and it’s perfect to have on hand when you’re entertaining.

If people can help themselves to appetizers, snacks, and desserts you don’t have to serve them, freeing you up for enjoying your guests.

ThisPeanut Butter Pretzel Puppy Chow is an eye-catching addition to my cookie tray or finger food appetizer any time of year.

Everyone knows what puppy chow is but little do they know the surprise in this one!

It’s addictive though so I only make it around the holidays when I have extra folks around that will help me eat it.

Otherwise, I would try to finish off the batch all by myself. I hate to waste food…right.

Freaky Friday Annual Virtual Holiday Cookie Exchangearrived just in time. The Freaky Friday blog hop, organized byMichaela who runsAn Affair From the Heart, is a group of bloggers that are secretly assigned each others’ blogs from which we choose a recipe appropriate for the theme. The blog that I was given wasTake Two Tapas.

Take Two Tapas is the brain project of the amazing Jennifer.

Jennifer started her blog because she enjoyed grazing on several different dishes instead of filling up on one big plate.

I’m with her! She enjoys entertaining and is a real magician when it comes to transforming food with big flavors into smaller portions.

The only rules for our exchange were the recipe I choose MUST BE a cookie, bar, candy or holiday type chex/snack mix, something you would see on a holiday platter.

We had so many things to pick from including herButterscotch Pretzel Cookies or her Salt River Sticks. Both would escalate mycookie tray to the next level!
