S’mores Puppy Chow: The Ultimate Summer Snack That’s Almost Too Good to Share

Nothing says summer quite like s’mores, but let’s be honest—sometimes you just don’t feel like building a campfire, battling sticky marshmallow fingers, or realizing too late that you forgot to buy graham crackers. Enter S’mores Puppy Chow—a no-fuss, highly snackable treat that gives you all the nostalgic flavors of s’mores without the mess.

This is the kind of snack that’s perfect for road trips, backyard picnics, or just sneaking bites straight from the bowl when your kids aren’t looking. Let’s get to it.

What You’ll Need

Simple ingredients, big flavor, and zero campfire skills required.

• 2.5 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 2.5 cups Honey Grahams cereal
• 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips (set aside ½ cup for topping)
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 2 Hershey bars, broken into pieces

How to Make It

1. Melt & Mix – In a microwave or on the stove, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with peanut butter until smooth. Try not to eat it straight from the bowl.
2. Coat & Stir – In a large bowl, pour the melted mixture over the Rice Chex and Honey Grahams. Gently stir until everything is well coated.
3. Shake It Up – Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag, add powdered sugar, seal it up, and shake like your snack happiness depends on it.
4. Finish Strong – Pour the coated cereal into a bowl and toss in the mini marshmallows, remaining chocolate chips, and Hershey bar pieces. This is the part where it starts looking irresistible.
5. Cool & Enjoy – Spread it out on a baking sheet for a few minutes to set (if you can wait that long). Then, dig in.

Make It Even More Fun

• Movie Night Upgrade – Serve this instead of popcorn. Just be prepared for everyone to request it every time.
• Road Trip Essential – Pack it in snack-size containers and hand it out when the kids start getting antsy. Instant happiness.
• DIY S’mores Bar – Let the kids customize their mix by adding pretzels, white chocolate chips, or even a handful of crushed graham crackers for extra crunch.

A Snack Worth Sharing (Or Not)

S’mores Puppy Chow is the kind of treat that disappears fast—so if you’re planning on sharing, maybe make a double batch. Or stash a secret bowl for yourself. No judgment.

Enjoy the flavors of summer, no campfire required!
