I'm a sucker for a salty snack, and this hits the spot. With the Super Bowl coming up this weekend I wanted to make sure you have something crunchy, savory, and easy to eat for hours on end! This is my take on puppy chow, but instead of peanut butter and powdered sugar it's made with tahini and parmesan cheese! Feel free to use any kind of cereal you like, I opted for a corn cereal that wasn't too sweet since I wanted to keep this dish on the salty side of things.
