Puppy chow is a popular snack food in the US. The name comes from the fact they look a bit like dog food, but don’t worry, they taste great and are quick and easy to make.

Keto Puppy Chow Second

The typical puppy chow recipe usually consists of cereal, peanut butter, chocolate, and butter. The ingredients are mixed together and then made into small oval shapes that are then covered in powdered sugar before serving. They make a great sweet treat, but if you’re following a keto diet, they contain way too many carbs.

The good news is there is a keto-friendly way to make puppy chow. In our recipe, we use pork rinds to give it some crunch, cocoa powder, low-carb brown sugar for sweetness, and coconut oil and almond butter to help the dry ingredients stick together. The result is tasty carb-free snacks that are packed full of protein and lots of other goodness that will provide you with an energy boost in between meals or if you’re watching sport or a movie.

This recipe is lots of fun to make, and if you’ve got kids get them to help you out. Go on, give them a try today.
