Whatever name you attach to this popular snack, it’s pure deliciousness. And in this case it’s allergy-free (please note that Toll House chocolate chips carry a warning about peanuts being processed on the same equipment).
A kid who doesn’t love puppy chow is likely a kid who’s never tasted it. But my heart goes out to those kids (and kids-at-heart) who have nut allergies and can’t enjoy a handful of the stuff now and then. So I was thrilled when the light bulb went on an I realized you could substitute SunButter®.
My co-worker, Leah, made a batch to share with the office and another to send to her husband’s office. The reviews for SunButter® Puppy Chow (or Monkey Munch or Chex Mix) are below the pictures.
How could it not be good with these ingredients? Everything’s the same as traditional Puppy Chow except SunButter® instead of peanut butter.
Mouth watering yet?
The finished product!
The reviews:
Monica—“My son would love this! He is a traditional seed spittin’ baseball player that loves sunflower seeds. If I made this for the team it would be a hit.”
Amanda—“Tasted pretty similar to the peanut butter kind, not as sweet.”
Jesse—“I couldn’t really tell the difference (compared to the traditional recipe).”
Tara—“I’m a BIG fan! It’s a nice change of pace from the original puppy chow that I make way too often. I also enjoyed the added crunch from the seeds. The SunButter® flavor really comes through – yum!”
Lisa —“Mmmmmm! I love peanut butter and can’t imagine being allergic. I have a cousin who is. I’ll be sharing the site with her family!”
Maureen—“My son and I were on a flight back from Florida on which they asked us to keep anything with peanuts unopened. We later understood why…a young college student was wearing a mask. How awful. Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to have some SunButter® on hand, especially in restaurants?”
Carrie—“ It doesn’t taste identical to regular puppy chow, but is an excellent alternative. A great snack to share in a classroom.”
Eric (Leah’s husband)—“Two guys at work have food allergies—one to peanuts and one to gluten. They were hesitant to try it so went online to confirm that the Rice Chex and SunButter® were okay. The general consensus was that they tasted the difference but they really liked it.”
