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?
