Puppy Chow for People

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at SWAT chapter.

Whether you’re hosting a pre-game, contributing food to a tailgate or just want something delicious to snack on during an afternoon of studying, Puppy Chow is the way to go. This snack is a prime choice because it is easy to make, easy to carry around and, most importantly, easy to eat. It’s as sweet as it is crunchy, so savor it while it lasts and don’t be surprised if one serving somehow turns into 18.
