I remember the first time I had puppy chow. My eyes were opened. It was a brand new culinary experience. I could see new colors. I continue to relish crossing paths with “the chow.” Every time I taste it, I recall it’s perfect, sweet crunch. Now a new era has dawned for it, the era of the cookie. Will this cause me to eat more or less of it, I’m not sure. In the one sense, you can eat a lot of the cereal version and have felt like you just had a nibble.
In another way, eating a cookie is a large, more efficient vessel to get peanut butter and powdered sugar into your mouth.
