This S’mores Puppy Chow is perfect for snacking, bake sales, and so easy for on the go. There’s something about the pairing of melted chocolate and marshmallows in addition to a hint of honey graham crackers that will make your mouth water.
About this Puppy Chow
I love the taste of a campfire s’more without the sticky mess of marshmallows everywhere. This S’mores Puppy Chow really emphasizes all flavors of a s’more.
This treat is quick to make and no baking required! No bake recipes always rank among my favorite recipes because of their simplicity and timeliness. It’s honestly hard to mess this one up!
Typically puppy chow (aka Muddy Buddies) is a combination of chocolate and peanut butter coating the Chex cereal and finished off with a powdered sugar dusting. Although we’ll keep these elements consistent, we are going to add graham cracker pieces and marshmallow to create the campfire feel.
And if you love puppy chow, try my Oreo Puppy Chow, Funfetti Puppy Chow, or Lemon Puppy Chow, which you’ll all obsess over! I have a St. Patrick’s Day version I like to call Leprechaun Bait, too! And if you just love s’mores, try this S’mores Casserole.
Recipe Ingredients
- Rice Chex – Chex cereal is the base of our puppy chow. It gives the perfect crunch.
- Chocolate Chips, Marshmallows, Peanut Butter – These ingredients melt together to coat the chex and act as the glue for the powdered sugar to stick.
- Golden Grahams – This cereal is basically mini graham crackers! Perfect for this recipe to achieve a similar size to the Chex.
- Powdered Sugar – A dusting of powdered sugar is a classic addition to the muddy buddy recipe.

Recipe FAQs
This puppy chow can be stored right in the bag you made them in for 3-5 days at room temp or in the fridge if you prefer it chilled. Just don’t throw the bag in the back of the pantry where it may get crushed and your Puppy Chow becomes Puppy Dust. However, if you’re concerned about it getting crushed, store in Tupperware.
Muddy Buddies freeze extremely well! Store in an airtight container or ziplock for up to 5 months. Thaw to room temperature before digging in!
You want all of the ingredients coated, but try not to over mix! The chunks in this recipe are the best part.
I call this Puppy Chow, but it’s most definitely NOT meant for dogs. With all of the chocolate and sugar involved, you’ll end up with a very sick puppy if they get their paws on this treat
