Our family has taken a quick pitstop in Florida before we move on up to the D.C. area, and boy is it hot & humid here! We’ve been spending our days in the pool trying to beat the heat. I’ve been on the hunt for some easy no-bake treats for the kiddos and this s’mores muddy buddy mix was the perfect sweet snack! It only requires a few ingredients and can be whipped up in a matter of minutes.

You’ll need Chex cereal, Golden Graham cereal, graham crackers, chocolate chips, Nutella or peanut butter, mini marshmallows, and powdered sugar. Simple enough, right? For this particular batch of muddy buddies I used Nutella, but you could use another chocolate spread if you happen to have one on hand. If you want to get extra fancy, instead of adding additional chocolate chips to the mix, you can toss in a handful or two of Hershey’s drop. It’s totally up to you!
Toss everything together in a BIG bowl and serve it up poolside or on your next camping trip! This is such a fun, tasty treat that kids and adults will love!
The best part? You don’t have to turn on your oven to make it! It’s a great snack mix for summer!!
S’mores Puppy Chow:
S'more Muddy Buddies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chocolate spread or peanut butter (like Nutella)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 4 cup Golden Graham cereal
- 3 cups Chex cereal
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Mix-Ins
- 1 cup Golden Graham cereal

- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or Hershey's Drops
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl combine the chocolate spread (or peanut butter) and the chocolate chips.
-
Place in the microwave and melt for 30 seconds on high, three times, stirring in between. Once the chocolate is nice and smooth, stir in the mini marshmallows, then fold in the cereal.

Transfer the cereal to a large ziploc bag, add the powdered sugar, seal and shake to coat.
-
Toss in a large clean bowl along with the Golden Graham cereal, graham cracker chunks, chocolate chips (or Hershey's Drops), and mini marshmallows.
Recipe Notes
If you're using a chocolate spread, I like to add â…› tsp. kosher sea salt to the chocolate mixture after it's melted- it's completely optional. If you're using peanut butter, it already has enough salt in it to give this mix more of a salty/sweet taste.

wish I could make these, but live in Danmark so i can not get these cereals here. can you suggest anyother type of cereal that would work? Thanks
I’m not sure what cereals you have there, but you could use any that are hollow in the inside, with little holes, that the melted ingredients can seep through & fill in. Also, use one that maybe doesn’t have added flavors. I hope that helps you & hope you find one that works!
This looks so good! I love how easy it is to prepare and how great it is to entertain a crowd. Thank you for the recipe, I’ll definitely prepare it this weekend 😀
You are so welcome!! It’s definitely a crowd pleaser! Hope you enjoy!
When you say fold in cereal (into the chocolate mixture), are you talking about both the 3 c. Of corn Chex and 4 c. Of the golden graham? I know this seems simple and I’ve made something like Thor before but I want to be sure 🙂 thanks!!
Yes 🙂 Hope you like it!!
Hello! Can I do this recipe a few days in advance or will they become less crispy?
Thanks!
They might become a little more stale. I haven’t made them that far in advance, just maybe the night before or morning of. I hope that helps you! I hope you like this recipe!
Hi! Just wondering how many servings does this make? Thank you 🙂
Depending on how big your servings are, you could get maybe 6-8 cups? Hope that helps!
Thank you!!
