Put a fall twist on the traditional “Puppy Chow” or “Muddy Buddies” recipe! With very few ingredients, a few minutes and a pretty fall bowl, you have an irresistible dessert! Since its so simple, you can toss it together to feed a crowd in minutes.

This puppy chow recipe is truly fall in a bowl. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE the fall crisp weather, wearing hoodies, no mosquitoes, etc. There is just something about the colors and flavors of fall that just makes me happy. Then, of course, there are the comfort foods that I love like Chicken & Dumplings, Chili and Beef Stew.

In addition to comfort dinners, I also love the fall desserts! In fact, baking is something that I LOVE to do and wish I had more time to do.
