S’mores Puppy Chow

 not marshmallows in my picture above, but after testing I found that adding them at this stage works best if you want them coated in chocolate.Add the chocolate mixture and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated. Don’t miss all the crumbly bits at the bottom!Now, pour the coated cereal into a large Ziploc bag and add the confectioner’s sugar. (This is usually messy, an extra set of hands to hold the bag open helps!) Seal the bag and shake until the cereal is well-coated. Let the kids help with this part, just make sure the bag is closed! 😂

Add-Ins (Kinda)

Now that the cereals and marshmallows are coated in chocolate and confectioners sugar, grab the add-ins. I am calling them add-ins because they are added at a different stage, but they are actually a repeat of the same ingredients used prior.

Pour Golden Grahams and mini marshmallows into the bag with the mixture and toss for a few seconds. This will lightly coat the cereal and marshmallows with sugar, but not the chocolate. I do this for aesthetic reasons so that when you serve them, people can see that these are S’ mores puppy chow!

Spread on parchment paper or waxed paper. Let sit until cool and the chocolate is set.

You can store the puppy chow in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, but I doubt it will last that long!

Puppy Chow Variations

I love all of the easy ways you can change up muddie buddies. Some of my favorite variations are:

Ingredients

Main Mixture

▢2 cups Golden Grahams cereal▢2 cups Rice Chex cereal▢1 cup confectioners sugar▢½ cup milk chocolate morsels▢¼ cup creamy peanut butter▢1 cup mini marshmallows

Add-Ins

▢½ cup Golden Grahams cereal▢½ cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

Main Mixture

Place both portions of cereal and mini marshmallows in a large bowl.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate morsels and peanut butter in 30-second increments and stirring after every 30 seconds.. (Usually, 1 minute is enough.)

Once melted, pour over the cereal and marshmallows and stir with a spatula until everything is coated in the chocolate mixture.

Carefully pour into a large plastic bag that seals. Pour confectioners sugar over and seal the bag. Shake until every piece is coated in sugar.

Add-Ins

Open the plastic bag and add in the 1/2 cup Golden Grahams and 1/2 cup mini marshmallows. Shake bag again to just barely coat the add-ins.

Pour into a bowl and serve.
