  • Let puppy chow chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight prior to consuming. Feel free to add more lemon zest if you want even more lemon flavor.

Notes

DO NOT use lemon juice in place of the extract in this recipe. It will make your cereal soggy.
Tip: Heat treat the cake mix prior to using if desired. Put the cake mix on a baking sheet and cook for 5 minutes at 350F before using to bake off the raw flour 👍🏼👍🏼
Store in the fridge or on the counter for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 5 months.
