st. patrick’s day baileys irish cream puppy chow
Puppy chow is my new favorite thing to make. There are 3 reasons for that. 1. It’s so easy to make and change up 2. It’s delish and feels less guilty than cake 3. The Bubba eats it up like crazy, which means I don’t have to do all the dirty work. Sweet! If you do use Bailey’s in it, you MUST heat the Bailey’s and chocolate/candy melts together (like, in the same bowl at the same time) when you melt the chocolate. If you melt the chocolate and then add the Baileys, the chocolate will seize and be completely unusable. Trust me – I tested it.
