Feeling lucky? Make a batch of this Lucky Charms Protein Puppy Chow and see if you get any for yourself ;) Seriously, this stuff won't last long - it's addicting! It's lower in sugar and higher in protein than traditional puppy chow, making it a better snacking choice.
NOTE: We used sugar free chocolate to keep the added sugars down. To lower the fat, you can try 3/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 6 tbsp. water, and 2 tbsp. peanut butter in place of the half cup of peanut butter.
