Red Velvet Puppy Chow

Red Velvet Puppy Chow

 

Saturday is the big lovey dovey day. Whether you're all about Valentine's Day or highly against it, this red velvet puppy chow is still an awesome snack. If making this involves red velvet flavored candy melts, and red velvet cake mix, it has to be the bees knees.

This isn't the normal puppy chow. Since I'm such a fiend for sweet and salty, I had to add some pretzels. They did the trick for me. I couldn't decide whether I liked the pretzels or the corn cereal better. So, I ate them together.

I'm sad to say, this didn't last long in our house. Sure it turned our tongues bright red, but it was so darn good. I had to include those adorable little heart sprinkles. It's the only time of the year that I use them excessively, so that makes it okay. Right?
