Cake Batter Puppy Chow

I’m sure, if you have Pinterest, that you’ve seen this recipe all over.  That’s how I found it, at least.

I got addicted to Pinterest last year in one of my classes.  It was a lecture class and we sat in front of computers for 1 1/2 hours… what was I supposed to do?  My professor clearly wanted me to be on Pinterest.  Besides, I think it made me pay attention more because I knew I had to listen even more carefully if I was going to be “off task” by being on Pinterest.

So, lesson learned, multi-tasking makes you more attentive.  (Riiighhht…)

Anyway, I’ve found a lot of great recipes on Pinterest and this is one of my favorites.  However, if you have an addictive personality, I don’t suggest you make this because it is so addicting.  Just walk away.  Give it as gifts… that’s what I had to do.
