Who loves delicious, quick desserts that don’t require any baking? Can I see a show of hands? Yep, mine is waving. Is yours? That is why peanut butter brownie puppy chow is going to make your day.

It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s delicious. Seriously delicious.

And the kids can help make it! Well, if you have kids. I wouldn’t recommend stealing one just to get help with the recipe. That’s generally frowned upon. (haha).

One quick note: make sure you use butter-flavored shortening. You can also substitute butter, but that will make the mixture a bit thicker and harder to stir.
