Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Krave Chocolate Filled Cereal
- 2 cups Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
S’mores Components
- 1 package Graham Crackers (crushed into crumbs)
- 1 cup Teddy Grahams
- 1 cup Dehydrated Marshmallows
- Hershey Bar (optional, broken into squares for topping)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolates: Add the Nutella and one cup of chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments for up to two minutes, stirring after each heating, until everything is melted and smooth, ensuring a silky chocolate mixture.
- Combine Cereal with Chocolate: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold the Krave chocolate-filled cereal into the melted chocolate mixture until the cereal is well coated and evenly covered with the chocolate.
- Coat with Graham Cracker and Powdered Sugar: Place the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar into a large ziplock bag. Scoop the chocolate-covered cereal into the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until every piece is coated with the crumb and powdered sugar mixture, adding texture and sweetness.
- Set the Chocolate: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set fully and the pieces to firm up.
- Mix with Additional Ingredients: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large serving dish. Add Teddy Grahams, dehydrated marshmallows, and the remaining chocolate chips. Stir gently until all the ingredients are well combined to create the s’mores puppy chow mix.
- Top and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle Hershey bar squares on top for an extra chocolate hit and a classic s’mores touch. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Using dehydrated marshmallows helps prevent the mix from becoming sticky or soggy.
- You can customize by using different types of chocolate chips or adding nuts for crunch.
- Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for extended freshness.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure that the cereal, graham crackers, and Teddy Grahams are gluten-free certified.
