Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow

I’m high maintenance when it comes to food. Okay, maybe other things too, but we’re here to talk about food today. Foods that are hard to find, the theme of this week’s Sunday Supper.

Whether online or in store, there is little I won’t do to track down items I want in my pantry, refrigerator, or freezer. I have gone to five grocery stores in one day to track down Pumpkin Spice Oreos (so worth it). I have ordered the freshest wild Alaskan salmon from the famous Pike’s Place Seafood Market in Seattle. It never ceases to amaze me that it is placed on an airplane and on my front porch a little more than twelve hours later. The taste always makes me ooooh and aaaah too.

Then there’s my favorite market, about 30 minutes from my house. Somehow their avocados just taste better than everyone else’s. Oh, and my favorite bakery (other than my own kitchen 🙂 ) is 30 minutes in the opposite direction. And I’ve gone to both in one day a couple times.

Whether meat, seafood, produce, junk food, or health food, the lengths I’ve gone to in order to get my hands on food, is pretty much insane. But I find most of the time, it is so worth it!

Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow

Like when I went on a search for Pumpkin Spice baking chips. I had no idea these were a thing until I saw them on a few other blogs. I finally found them at my local Target. Gotta love Target! I’m so glad I found them. Whereas some chips don’t pack much of a flavor punch, these really have a strong, warming spice to them. They are more pumpkin spicy than any other similarly flavored thing I’ve tried.

What to do with them was next. It seemed only natural to create a snack/dessert that satisfies that typical pumpkin spice craving this time of year, as well as one that is easy to make and loved by everyone. Set this out as part of your Thanksgiving spread, and no one will remember there was no pumpkin pie.

I used Cinnamon Chex to intensify the pumpkin spice, and they are literally my new favorite cereal. I’m addicted! The crispy crunchy cereal is complemented perfectly by the gooey mixture of the chips and peanut butter, and that confectioners’ sugar coating . . . well it’s just irresistible. Track these chips down. You’ll be glad you did.

    Looks like going to Target has just been added to my to-do list. I wonder what other goodies to find there besides those pumpkin spice chips. Great way to use the chips for sure. Such a tasty snack.

    You have the coolest products in the US, I love poking around in stores when we travel. We tend to have the basics here, never have I seen seasonal products like pumpkin spice baking chips or pumpkin spice Oreos. I have not tried making or have even had puppy chow before either. I have to change all of this when we head south for New Years and locate some cool things!!

      You will have to stock up for sure! I bet you could make puppy chow with things you could find though. Chex cereal, peanut butter, any kind of chips you like, powdered sugar. I know you could put a great twist on it, Tara!
