Vegan Puppy Chow (for Humans Only)

“Puppy Chow” is a holiday staple for me. It’s easy to make, tastes fantastic, and makes a great DIY gift. Whip up a batch, and put it into tiny baggies or present it in mason jars decked with pretty holiday ribbons and tags.

This recipe is also great to make for a cookie swap, because you can make a lot with relatively little work. And, trust me, it’s a crowd pleaser—so no one will even notice that you took the easy route.
