Salted Caramel Puppy Chow Ingredients
- Bugles Chips: Makes the base of this recipe and adds crunch, texture and flavor.
- Butter Pecan Cake Mix: Most puppy chow or muddy buddy recipes call for using powdered sugar. This recipe changed it up to a box of dry cake mix. With powdered sugar you only get a sweet taste. Use a cake mix and you add tons of flavor and not a lot of sweetness. That’s the job of the salted caramel chips.
- Salted Caramel Baking Chips: Hershey’s and Trader Joe’s both have their version of these chips. I’ve tried both and they are equal in offering creamy caramel flavor with a hint of sea salt.
