Remember this little guy?
Well, he turns 1 this weekend (this photo made his invite) and since his Mom is my BFF from this picture, I begged volunteered to help out with birthday treats! She put in a request for some appetizers, so of course, I made everyone’s favorite Sorority Spinach Dip. And since she knows I’m a big fan of the puppy chow, she suggested a bowl of that.
For a first birthday party, only one kind of puppy chow is appropriate…Cake Batter Puppy Chow. I actually learned about this recipe at a first birthday party, and it has appeared on the blog before. Per usual, I had my unwanted kitchen helper : )
Whose nose I was able to keep out of the bowl of chocolate covered Chex.
The secret ingredient to this recipe, is cake mix!
You cover your white chocolate coated cereal in mostly cake mix, with only a little bit of powdered sugar.
For that perfect cake-like taste!
I’ll tell you that it doesn’t have to be a birthday party to dig into this bag of goodness!
Wondering what to do with your leftover cake mix?
Cake Batter Fudge is totally the WAY TO GO!

A wonderful party guests took home goodie bags of the stuff! More cooper on the blog please!
I’ll see what I can do! Recently, he’s just been sleeping and sitting in the sink but I have plenty of pics of both.
OMG! I think I gained 5 lbs. just reading this post. Sounds so amazing! It is probably a good thing that I don’t cook or bake. I would be making and eating too many of your recipes!!
he he! yes, this one is easy and a real crowd pleaser so perfect to bring for any special ocassion. Then leave the leftovers there : )
This didn’t sound appealing, but it looks pretty good.
Fair assessment : )
It’s not too sweet and has a pretty mild cake batter taste with some awesome white chocolate coated cereal!
